trenchtrotter Posted 3 December , 2006 Share Posted 3 December , 2006 Can anyone help me with additional info re this Officer. I have his MIC details and War Graves info. I am keen to know more. Any info from the War Diary would be good. If anyone has an interest in the Leicesters and has info or can give me pointers I would be most grateful. Thanks.

dave ricketts Posted 8 December , 2006 Share Posted 8 December , 2006 Trenchtrotter, The Battalion was engaged in a successful operation at Cambrai. I haven't got the details to hand, but Wylly's History of 1st and 2nd Battalion of the Leicestershire Regiment has details. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
