stevesaints Posted 16 January , 2017 Share Posted 16 January , 2017 My grandfather Driver John A. Clarke served in Salonika in 484 Company ASC part of the 27th Division. After the Armistice, he sailed to Batoum on Dec 17th 1918 and left on March 30th 1919 for UK. Whilst I know the involvement of the 27th Div in general, I have no real idea of what 844 Coy did specifically. Can anyone point me to any documents such as regimental diaries from which I can get a better idea of what he actually did in Salonika and Batoum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 16 January , 2017 Share Posted 16 January , 2017 (edited) 484 or 844?? 484 Coy ASC were initially 54th (East Anglian) Divisional Train, but didn't go abroad. They were later in 27th Division in Salonika. 844 Coy ASC were Train pack Echelon (HT) in 22nd Division, also in Salonika. Strangely, neither has War Diaries listed of their own in the WO95 series at Kew according to Michael Young's book, although some ASC companies in 27th Division trains do have diaries under WO95/4886. 844 Coy diaries might be included in the 22nd Divisional diaries- you can search on Ancestry for those. I presume this page is yours Steve? http://www.wartimememoriesproject.com/greatwar/view.php?uid=209130 Edited 16 January , 2017 by Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
