mikebriggs Posted 8 February , 2006 Share Posted 8 February , 2006 Hi Zippy A quick look through the Battalion History would suggest; digging advance trenches, more digging and patrols (on the night of the 28th/29th). Can you send you some more scans by e-mail cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebriggs Posted 9 February , 2006 Share Posted 9 February , 2006 sorry Tim I meant the previous few days which are missing from the scan. There were a 3 (?) casualties those few days:- 2782 Cpl Albert Stableford (29th) 3859 Pte William Canadine (28th) 4588 Pte Frank Sturdy (28th) I'll check to see if I've got a copy of the the War Diary for those few days aswell Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Hesketh Posted 9 February , 2006 Share Posted 9 February , 2006 You may be interested in the online diary of Sid Dore of the Robin Hoods, a 1st July casualty. It's on my site (link below in signature) but shortcut is: http://www.derbyshirelads.uwclub.net/Men/s..._dore_index.htm His record for the 29th reads: "Attack cancelled at the last minute. Bombardment still continued. Patrols in action." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
