David_Blanchard Posted 15 July , 2020 Share Posted 15 July , 2020 I have tried to find a war diary at the National Archives for the XIII Corps. Is there one? If so could someone please, provide me with the reference. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_Blanchard Posted 15 July , 2020 Author Share Posted 15 July , 2020 Thanks very much- obviously using Roman numerals, is not the way to browse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite annoying, I often can't find things either because of this, only after browing a bit, I am remembered that numerals are arabic instead of roman as they should be...

David_Blanchard Posted 15 July , 2020 Author Share Posted 15 July , 2020 However, the system for whatever reason will not let me open the diary for July 1916. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KernelPanic Posted 16 July , 2020 Share Posted 16 July , 2020 For what it's worth, I gave up trying to log in, search, and download anything over the weekend and the beginning of this week; nothing worked. Probably related to system updates (there was a warning banner to that effect on the TNA main site). But no problems today. Access etc. was quick and seamless, so hopefully everything's sorted out.

Andy davidson Posted 17 July , 2020 Share Posted 17 July , 2020 May be of use, have you seen the book Zero hour, z day XIII corps operations around Maricourt ? A huge book, loads of great information, written by Jonathan Porter, well worth a read ? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
