Hi 7th Beds people

If anyojne has the above book, would you mind telling me if, and how well the following actions are covered, before I add another book to the bookcase?

Sept 1916; Theipval & Scwaben Redoubt attacks

17 Feb 1917; supporting attack on Miramount

12 to 19 March 1917; attacks on the Louport Line & Bethancourt

3 May 1917; 18th Division attack on Cherisy

10 August 1917; Glencourse Wood

15 Nov 1917; 54th Bgde's defensive actions against German attack

If any of those listed did not involve the 7th, could you kindly correct me as Ive taken these from their War diary, so may have misunderstood . Oh and if Ive missed any out between Sept 1916 & end 1917, please correct me there too!

Thank you very much

Steve

Is this a new book? I have not heard of it before. Do you have any more details?

Hi Guys

Yep, been available few months now. Saw a copy at the Beds archives a while ago, but wasnt doing what Im doing now so didnt look for this info!! Good casualty lists & some decent diary / letter entries included. I believe Martin D is one of the Archivists or similar?
