Chris Posted 3 September , 2014 Share Posted 3 September , 2014 Tom Think you can also get them from the Tank Museum, as well National Archives. I have some small sections from actions where tanks supported various local units, or I have been following up battlefield visits. You got a particular one/date you are after Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towisuk Posted 4 September , 2014 Author Share Posted 4 September , 2014 Hi Chris, I was looking to see if they were available on-line from the NA like the other diaries I've downloaded...I'll have a word with you on Saturday at the exhibition about them mate.... regards Tom Tom Try here, may be of some help unfortunately cannot be downloaded. Jim http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/results/r?_q=WO95%2F100 Hi Jim, many thanks for the links to those records mate.....shame that they don't seem to have got round to making them "downloadable" like the other diaries that are coming on-line... regards Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta Posted 4 September , 2014 Share Posted 4 September , 2014 I have some a hard copy of D Battalion and some Regtl histories? Are you looking for one particular unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towisuk Posted 4 September , 2014 Author Share Posted 4 September , 2014 Many thanks for your reply, I have a man in A Battn who was KIA at Cambrai, he was also awarded the DCM for his work at the same time that Capt C Robertson was posthumously awarded his VC at 3rd Ypres. I was just hoping to be able to read the war diary of his Battn to follow their movements from landing in France until the Battle of Cambrai... regards Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
