Army Order & Strength of Bn 1915


Recommended Posts

The 9th DLI makes reference in July 1915 to an order that the strength of the T.F. Bn is to be 800 men - does anyone have any ideas what this particular order was ?. 800 seems a low strength for a Bn was previously circa 1000 men.

Craig,

I came across a similar remark in the 1/5th Glosters WD and have yet too find a definitive

A.O. to explain.

Thanks - no mention in 7th DLI diary or 6th DLI (although 6th & 8th DLI had been merged after Ypres so they were probably a special case).
