g6yfb Posted 22 December , 2023 Share Posted 22 December , 2023 I am trying to help the grand daughter of a private Arthur Meaden who was killed during the German Spring offensive 21st March 1918. He is memorialized at Pozières military cemetery (plaque 59). From what I have been able to find out he was in a village called Pontruet however I can not conclusively confirm this, does any kind soul have the regimental war diaries for 21/03/1918 or perhaps a copy of the regimental history and would be willing to help. He was in the 5th army 24th division 72 brigade. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
