deacs Posted 5 April , 2020 Share Posted 5 April , 2020 Hi folks I am wondering if any body can assist a numpty here please ? I hope I'm not talking a load of rubbish here but somewhere in my tiny brain I am sure that I have heard that you can find Brigade diaries ? that can give you a bit more information on a regiment. I have every Border regiment diary but I am wondering if there are any other diaries I can find, I am especially keen on the 5th Bn Border regiment so hopefully I haven't just made this all up in my tiny brain ? I am on Ancestry so if we can do this on the forum any links would be great but if not I'll browse the Archives. Regards Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin kenf48 Posted 5 April , 2020 Admin Share Posted 5 April , 2020 The 5th seem to have moved about a bit but for clarity here is the link to the Headquarters 151st Brigade on Ancestry as they were in that Brigade for the longest period. 151 Brigade War Diary Best tactic Go to War Diary Home Page on Ancestry On right hand side Browse Regiment or Unit Scroll Down to Find ‘Various Infantry Brigades (50th Division)’ in box Regiment enter 50th Division and each Brigade’s Headquarters Diary is listed (Also useful to check for Brigade units e.g. MG Companies) Alternatively go to TNA and identify reference then enter in this case ‘2838’ in the keyword box. Ignore the WO reference. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin kenf48 Posted 5 April , 2020 Admin Share Posted 5 April , 2020 You’re welcome, I thought the artwork on p100 (Ancestry) of the 151 Brigade diary was interesting, if atypical Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you could look for the others 👍 Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
