"History of the West Yorks Regiment in the Great War"

[sugerand]

Is anyone able to see if there is any information in this book on the movements of the 1/7 Battallion of the West Yorks Regiment on or around the 17/11/17 near Passchendale. My Great Uncle Frank Bowe was KIA on that date.

If thereis an entry do we know the name of the officer in charge of the Battallion?

Sorry Sue, I missed your second point

The battalion C.O. was Lt. Col. Tetley
