doogal Posted 27 October , 2004 Share Posted 27 October , 2004 Hi Dave, If its OK I have a look-up: The actions of the Yorkshire Regiment that defended Bucquoy in March 1918. I think they suffered quite badly, but wanted to get a sense of what they did as I am researching the Duke of Wellington's (West Riding) Regiment whom they were in the line with. with thanks doogal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROONAERT Posted 27 October , 2004 Author Share Posted 27 October , 2004 Doogal. I've found nothing specifically referring to Bucquoy for any of the battalions (though a couple were near). Any idea which one i should specifically be looking at? Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROONAERT Posted 27 October , 2004 Author Share Posted 27 October , 2004 Doogal. Just had a thought. I was looking at 31st March as a reference (the date you gave in the Lincolns post). I realise that it is earlier in March that you want for this request. I'll have another look tomorrow. In the meantime , here's part of the OH map showing positions in the morning of 28th March...

Bob Coulson Posted 28 October , 2004 Share Posted 28 October , 2004 Doogal, Bucquoy was heavily attacked on March 26th 1918 and defended by the 62nd division which included 1/5th, 2/4th, 2/5th, 2/6th and 2/7th battalions of the Duke of Wellingtons but no battalions of the Yorkshire Regiment were involved.
