Tim Godden Posted 20 May , 2005 Share Posted 20 May , 2005 Hi there, I think this man served with the 6th battalion but am not sure. I wonder if anyone can help. Does anyone have the regimental/battalion diary? He was a Private, then Lance Corporal and finally was commisioned as a 2nd Lt. as which I believe he served in the battle of Loos. Thanks in advance.
