Histoire Posted 27 April , 2020 Share Posted 27 April , 2020 This word has cropped up in a war diary in 1917 (15th Royal Irish, at that time based in Aldershot) I'm unable to find any references to it, although based on what I can find, Barracks at Aldershot were named. I'm thinking maybe this was one such name, although was hoping to verify with a plan cannot find anything. Any ideas please? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 27 April , 2020 Admin Share Posted 27 April , 2020 Maybe Meteren which is near Bailleul? Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Histoire Posted 27 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 27 April , 2020 (edited) Indeed it is. Meteren with an English accent is 'Meterin' which may explain the spelling. However, no mention in diary of going to France (is that usual?) Edited 27 April , 2020 by Histoire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
