petwes Posted 3 December , 2014 Share Posted 3 December , 2014 I am researching the 8th Battalion Devonshire Regiment on the 20th July 1916 (When my great uncle Harry Horsman was killed). I have obtained the battalion war diary and the 20th Brigade diary and would like to go further. I assumed there would be diaries for the 7th Division and XV corps as well for this period but if there are I’m obviously not searching with the right names in the right place. Would anyone be able to tell me if there are Headquarters Diaries and if so what the correct search phrase is? Many thanks Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petwes Posted 3 December , 2014 Author Share Posted 3 December , 2014 WalkEric Many thanks for the links. I've obviously spent too much time with the Artillery; I get lost in the trenches! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
