Struggling to find the 59th Brigade RFA War Diary on ancestry. But it can be downloaded from

http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C7352592

£3.50

This will cover the time he spent with that unit from early November 1917 to when he got ill. Minus, of course, the time he spent at the Artillery School

There is a little on the Brigade at

Not sure there is a lot to be gained trying to find 121 Brigade RFA as he was only with them 8 days in Sept 1918 before contracting dysentery.

So I think that is about it. Still looking for the diaries from May-Dec 1916 and will post a link here if I find 

Plenty to get your teeth. If the docs raise other questions we will try to help.

Have fed C7352592 into discovery.nationalarchives but get no records - is there something I'm missing in my search please Mark? Many thanks
