1st Northumberland Fusiliers in 1919

[Chris_Baker]

Can anyone enlighten me as to the precise moves of this battalion after the war? Some references put them in Carlow in Ireland in 1919 and they then appear in Silesia in 1922.

A PM to Graham Stewart should answer this, though he might see the post.
