Skipman Posted 1 November , 2022 Share Posted 1 November , 2022 (edited) I'm trying to locate IX. Corps and VIII. Corps HQ diaries on the WO 95 search page. I have no porblem finding battalion brigade and divisional diaries but struggle to find Corps and Army HQ diaries. What should I type in the search box to find them. Does anyone have a method, an WO 95 ref or a link please. Mike Edited 1 November , 2022 by Skipman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 1 November , 2022 Share Posted 1 November , 2022 (edited) Corps must be put in as 8 not VIII. I would use WO95 "8 corps headquarters" to get a start.

AOK4 Posted 1 November , 2022 Share Posted 1 November , 2022 Wouldn't it be nice to have the possibility of just downloading the whole WO95 inventory as a pdf just like the old paper version that was at the PRO in the old days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipman Posted 24 May , 2023 Author Share Posted 24 May , 2023 (edited) This method seems to work fairly well for Divisional Corps and Army diaries. Input the number required in front of Division Headquarters Branches and Services: General Staff. i.e., 51 Division Headquarters Branches and Services: General Staff. Corps. Headquarters Branches and Services: General Staff. i.e., 13 Corps. Headquarters Branches and Services: General Staff. Army. Headquarters Branches and Services: General Staff. i.e., Fifth Army. Headquarters Branches and Services: General Staff. You might need to scroll down a bit to get the desired unit Mike Edited 24 May , 2023 by Skipman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
