THOMAS JARVIS, 55234, 2 RWF. can any one help with the regimental history for the dates of 26-27-28 of November which might give me an insight of what happened to Thomas

The 33rd Div. are heavily involved at Polygon Wood Sept/Oct. '17. The 2nd R.W.F. join 115th Bde. , 38th Div. on February 6th '18 so presumably are still with 19th ? Bde., 33rd Div. until then.

Just need to pin them now! Suppose you know that but................

I believe GRUMPY answered this, along with SPOF, August 2013. Don't know how to post link and your inbox is blocked.

£3..36 buys you the whole diary and helps keep the National Archive going.

Not any more.

The recent release of digitised war diaries has meant a LOT of changes to what is available to download now. Basically, just the first 3 cavalry and first 7 infantry divisions and only of units in said divisions.As 19 Bde was now in 33 division, the diary is no longer available.

I have pdfs of some of the RWF actions from the Reg Records but not this one.

True, oh! wise one, but I gather they are on their way.

I have the complete 2nd RWF diary at home, and am willing to scan the relevant pages. I will need a PM and an internet address of course.
