WilliamRev Posted 28 January , 2015 Share Posted 28 January , 2015 The Regimental history of the Royal Scots 1914-1919, has the 16th Battalion (in the 34th Division) in the Arras area in June 1917, until the middle of the month, but goes into no more detail than that. So Derek's above link to the war diary is your best bet. William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
