stiletto_33853 Posted 31 January , 2006 Share Posted 31 January , 2006 Just wondering if any of the Artillery buffs on the forum can help me with the location of this unit on these dates. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essdee Posted 31 January , 2006 Share Posted 31 January , 2006 Andy The only info I have on 15 Siege is that on this date they were part of 19th HA Bde (July 1915 to 7 June 1916) Someone else may have details on this HA Bde Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto_33853 Posted 1 February , 2006 Author Share Posted 1 February , 2006 Stuart, Many thanks, I will have to repost with this HA Bde, thanks for the tip. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essdee Posted 3 February , 2006 Share Posted 3 February , 2006 Andy Popped into NA today and copied a few pages of 19 HAG diary around this date. Do you want them emailed over, by the way they shelled a white cat! Two pages from March are given over to describing a fireplan/raid complete with a sketch, I copied these as well as it makes an interesting read.
