brianmorris547 Posted 26 June , 2020 Share Posted 26 June , 2020 Lyndaf Do you mean his own personal war diary ? The obvious candidate is 36718 Angus Findlay MM. The LG 29/03/1919 31257 p 4126 shows 101 Field Company and his NOK address as Tooting. The award was for service in Italy. This is confirmed by his MM card. Did you put the entry on Lives of the First World War ? The WD of 101 FC (23 Div) records that the Unit was in F&F in January 1916 and although it names names I have no record of Angus. It is most likely that he arrived at No 4 General Base Depot RE in Rouen at some point in 1916 and was posted to 101 FC. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
