starshot Posted 19 August , 2014 Share Posted 19 August , 2014 I am researching Richard Wake Twining 2nd Lieut 1 Devon regiment who was KIA 1 July 1916. After reading his file in WO 339, I wanted to consult the Battalion war diary. Neither I nor two of the staff at TNA could find any trace of 1 Devon war diaries. I don't altogether trust their Discovery search tool. Does anyone know if this battalion's war diaries exist please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starshot Posted 20 August , 2014 Author Share Posted 20 August , 2014 You are a star! We didn't try "Devonshire" so Discovery was obviously not clever enough to recognise the part word Devon. Thought something must exist .Very grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
