Lost in Tilloy Posted 9 September , 2006 Share Posted 9 September , 2006 Hi Can I ask if anyone has any information on the location of the of 157th (City of Aberdeen) Brigade, RFA, 35th Division, between the time they arrived in France [30th Jan 1916] and the opening of the Battle of the Somme. I'm researching Lt Robert Gilroy Bannerman [KIA 25th July 1916, Montauban] who served in 'B' Battery of this unit. I have plenty of personal info on him, but I know nothing about where his unit first served in France. Any help appreciated. Regards LIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 9 September , 2006 Share Posted 9 September , 2006 After completion of training on Salisbury Plain, the Division embarked for France in January and early February 1916, being assembled near St-Omer. It then moved south and spent the first weeks of trench familiarisation in the Arras area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
