Have you tried "Diehards in the Great War" by Everard Wyrall? Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMHart Posted 2 January , 2006 Share Posted 2 January , 2006 Hi, There are several sources in the IWM Dept of Documents (search Middlesex & 16th) and one (Horace Ham) in the IWM Sound Archive (search Middleex & 16). Both spinning off the IWM website to those Departments search collections. I presume you have already tried these but just to be helpful! Cheers, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Reed Posted 2 January , 2006 Share Posted 2 January , 2006 Horace Hamm was a veteran I knew very well; glad he was interviewed for the IWM sound archive as well. He only served with the 16th Bn from the Spring of 1916 until he was wounded on 1st July; he was hit by shrapnel before the battalion even moved off, so missed out on the carnage on Hawthorn Ridge. He later served at Arras with the 12th Bn. There is a battalion history of the 16th which I am sure I have mentioned to you before, Steve? I am sure IWM will have a copy.
