Guest geoff501 Posted 18 February , 2006 Share Posted 18 February , 2006 A report in the local paper by a Captain reporting a death of one of his men to the family gives the location as The Battle of ________ Wood. Which wood did the censor remove? I Believe that battalions and locations were not published in newspapers from some time in 1916. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hywyn Posted 18 February , 2006 Share Posted 18 February , 2006 Geoff The RWF Records for the brigades/Division indicate it would be Mametz Wood. However I'm sure that this will be verified by those Pals that have more knowledge of the S.W.Borderers. Hywyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
