Unfortunately, that refers only to 1914/5 when the battalion belonged to 2nd Division. I was hoping also to find them in April 1917 (33rd Division) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Posted 8 April , 2019 Share Posted 8 April , 2019 You could also have a look at my website:- http://1stmiddlesex.com/index.htm The text there is based on the war diary but was obtained by extracting just 1/Middx detail from Everard Wyrall's book, The Die Hards in the Great War. There are also maps from the book. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
