Raster Scanning Posted 17 October , 2022 Author Share Posted 17 October , 2022 Sadly only up to October 1915 available. I am interested in after that when they were part of the EEF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardenerbill Posted 17 October , 2022 Share Posted 17 October , 2022 Sorry @Raster Scanning, not much I can add really, according to the LLT the 1st Leinsters arrived in Salonika with 82nd Brigade in December 1915 and were transferred to 29th Brigade of 10th Division November 1916, unfortunately the Salonika war diaries have not been digitised so a trip to Kew is needed to view them. They left Salonika with 10th Division in September 1917. The 1st Leinsters do get a few mentions in the 'Official History of the Great War Military Operations Macedonia' volume 1 by Captain Cyril Falls. Pages 174, 183 Actions of Karajakoi and Yenikoi Page 202 transfer to 29th Brigade Page 336 Occupation of the new line at Bairakli (actions at Ferdie and Essex trenches) The Official History is now available online to view the link is in this topic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
