5th Battalion Wiltshire Regiment

[Bob Chandler]

As part of some research I am carrying out into a local War Memorial, I am wondering whether anyone would be able to tell me where the 5th Bn were operating in April 1916, what local actions they may have been involved in, etc. (Pte J Pike of 'D' Coy, KIA 9th April) Many thanks

Many thanks Dave. Looks as though 9th April was a pretty rough day for the 5th Wilts.
