Zeb Posted 23 October , 2014 Share Posted 23 October , 2014 I don't know if this is in the right section, hopefully it will be moved if not. A while a go I bought a small, fading, pencil-written GW Diary. After some research I found out that he was in a Horse Transport Coy in the ASC (that is reflected in the diary). However, the diary is from 1919 - but, it gives an insight into a little know area of Great War History. Belonged to T4/238350 Cpl.William Alexander Hillier The best entry is the last one Thurs 22 May 1919 Notified for Embarkation tomorrow Free Another good entry Mon 17 March 1919 12 Killed [,] 24 Wounded [,] Number [of] prisoners taken Will try to transcribe more if interested.

Waggoner Posted 23 October , 2014 Share Posted 23 October , 2014 Zeb 12, I, for one, would be interested in reading more transcriptions. The 17 March 1919 entry has me puzzled. Wasn't the war over? All the best, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Clifton Posted 23 October , 2014 Share Posted 23 October , 2014 Presumably the embarkation was from France, back to the UK. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Tom Posted 24 October , 2014 Share Posted 24 October , 2014 Some troops were deployed in Russia after the war, I do not know if ASC were included. Old Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Clifton Posted 24 October , 2014 Share Posted 24 October , 2014 Good point Old Tom. 1152 and 1153 Cos RASC both served in Russia in 1919. 1152's War Diary begins in March and 1153's in May. There were also a few Depot Units of Supply, which are very small units. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
