No 17 CCS Remy Siding from August 1915

4 October , 2016

Sounds absolutely fascinating. Is this a family archive passed down? Or are you a collector who has unearthed it somewhere ... would love to get my hands on one

4 October , 2016

Dear Diane,

Is the writer of the CCS War Diary identified?

Presumably he signed his name, rank and so on. Compared to several war diaries I have seen of Fighting Units, this was a meticulously-kept one, indeed.

Thanks for presenting us with this insight into the meat factory-like progress of a CCS in 1915...

Kindest regards,

Kim.

I currently have in my possession a photograph album from that clearing station. But in the spirit of openness I am an Antiquarian dealer, and fully appreciate that this is a purely research inspired forum. I was feeling bad that in fact I may have already crossed the line by asking where you had got the diary from. So please forgive me if any boundaries crossed.

5 October , 2016

Not at all, DCRB. Are you willing to share the album contents? I'd love to see it - why not start a new thread
