drummer Posted 15 April , 2005 Share Posted 15 April , 2005 I have finished a transcription of the 2/Royal Irish Regiment War Diary for the first month or so of the War in PDF format. The transcription runs about 30 pages with many appendices and maps drawn by a Major St. Leger who was a trained artist of note. It is a an interesting tale of this almost forgotten regiment and the contributions the 2nd battalion made at Mons and Le Cateau and a first hand account of the trials of The Retreat. If you are interested, e-mail me and I will send it right off.... Regards, Drummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
