Help with locating war diaries (120 HT ASC & 302 RCC Royal Engine

[tgrubb]

Hi

I have tried and tried but I just cannot find 2 war diaries in the online catalogue at the NA. I know they are unlikely to be scanned yet but can anyone with more experience of the catalogue point me to these:

1 - 120 HT Company ASC (specifically from Nov 1916 in Salonika)

2 - 302 Road Construction Company Royal Engineers (June 1917 on)

I am sure there must be one for at least the first unit but for the life of me I cannot find it...

Help!!??

Morning Tim

The RE were previously discussed to some extent here

http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=195050

I can still only find the two mentioned in the listings.

Struggled with ASC too, other than that they were in 28th Divisional Train, perhaps the 28th Division WarDiaries will help ??

Hello Tim

The War Diary of 28 Divisional Train is in file WO95/4912 in the National Archives at Kew. It hasn't been digitised yet. The class listing doesn't mention 120 HT Company but they did serve with that division.

Good hunting!

The RE Library at Chatham hold a summary sheet for 302 RCC, covering 25.12.16 to 27.5.18. These do not normally mention names other than officers and are just one or two pages long, however they will give you a broad idea of what they were up to.

Thanks guys,

I am glad that I hadn't missed something obvious. I'll follow up the links.

Cheers
