Can anyone help me pinpoint the exact location on Ancestry for the war diary of the 1/4th Suffolk Regiment for the period 1st September 1915 to 31st January 1916?

Dear Jonbeam,

 

Many thanks. That is a very good start. I'm beginning to wonder if the war diary proper for the battalion for this period has been lost.

September 1915 is the last month recorded in the National Archives document WO-95-3927-2, available for download for the princely sum of £3.5o from the NA.I have no doubt that the following moths will also be available there for an additional £3.50.

Dear Robin,

Many thanks for your suggestion.

Unfortunately, although September 1915 of the diary is listed on the entry you mentioned in the Nat/ Archives catalogue somehow on Ancestry it is missing or has become separated. Either that, or there is an error on the Nat. Archives catalogue (which has been known to happen) and this section of the diary ends in August 1915 (as it does on Ancestry).

October 1915 seems to be missing too.
