Ron Clifton Posted 8 December , 2019 Share Posted 8 December , 2019 You won't find it on Ancestry - they only have diaries for divisions and their constituent units. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiletto_33853 Posted 12 December , 2019 Share Posted 12 December , 2019 (edited) Allan, What do you need from this file as it is quite a large file. It is the A & Q file October 1918 to October 1919 and contains Corps Routine Orders. Andy Edited 14 December , 2019 by stiletto_33853 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiletto_33853 Posted 16 December , 2019 Share Posted 16 December , 2019 (edited) Hi Allan, Well you gave the reference number which is October's A & Q, 10th October is not too far into the file. I try to index all Corps files on my hard drives in depth as they contain so much information and a great resource for maps and giving the bigger picture when looking at actions rather than the battalion or brigade/division overview, useful when you want to know the whole story and tend not to be as biased as say battalions diaries tend to be and can be, i.e. we retired as the battalion on the left had retired.
