Beinn Posted 5 April , 2006 Share Posted 5 April , 2006 I have just found out that my great-grandfather Sgt Harry Craddock of the 13th DLI died of wounds at the 69th Field Ambulance on 20/09/17. Knowing this information is there a way I can find out more information about how he died etc? ps I have already managed to look at war diaries, books, War Graves Comm etc. What I was wondering if I could access information recorded by the 69th FA?? Thanks for any pointers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE Posted 5 April , 2006 Share Posted 5 April , 2006 When you say you've looked at War Diaries does that mean the 69th Field Ambulance as well? If not then they too have War Diaries under the references: WO95/2179 - 69 Field Ambulance 1915 Aug. - 1917 Oct. WO95/4234 - 69 Field Ambulance 1917 Nov. - 1919 Mar. However, having never consulted a Field Ambulance War Diary I've no idea what information they recorded. Hope this helps Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beinn Posted 5 April , 2006 Author Share Posted 5 April , 2006 Thanks Steve, As you might have guessed I meant the war diaries of the 13th for the period around the 20th Sept. I did not think about the war dairies of the 69th FA, I wonder if anyone knows whether they would contain useful information about wounded soldiers??
