Max Posted 27 April , 2005 Share Posted 27 April , 2005 The 18/DLI moved to Egypt in December 1915 and then transferred to France in March 1916. http://www.1914-1918.net/31div.htm Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilB Posted 27 April , 2005 Share Posted 27 April , 2005 I think you missed the bit in British Regiments - "6/3/16 sailed from Port Said for France, arriving Marseilles 11 Mar." Phil B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted 27 April , 2005 Share Posted 27 April , 2005 It looks they were following in after 2 of my Great Uncles who were in the 15/West Yorks. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
