jhill Posted 13 November , 2003 Share Posted 13 November , 2003 This is not exactly what you want, but I have seen a chronology supposedly lifted from When the Barrage Lifts by Gerald Gliddon; Alan Sutton Publishing - Gloucestershire. This, in turn, was supposedly lifted from General Rawlinson's diary. A sample was posted on a web site somewhere but I have lost the reference. If it is, in fact, Rawlinson's diary, I presume it is ok to do this. For July 6th: Rain 2mm. Low 54' high 70'. Overcast and dull with showers at intervals. I don't know how much the weather can vary between HQ and Boulogne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
