DaveMurphy Posted 26 January , 2007 Share Posted 26 January , 2007 I see some poor soul at the AWM still has some work to do... they still have 33 of the 35 to go! And I don't think the infantry ones will be small either Maybe it should be a work for the dole project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the LH diaries appear to be there and the infantry diaries are currently being prepared to be put on line. Regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the LH diaries appear to be there and the infantry diaries are currently being prepared to be put on line. Regards Chris Umm... well I mean that it is an outstanding resource, and that I think its great work on behalf of the AWM that they have been made available online. A quick look at AWM 4 shows that there are 2 of the 35 classes available.. by no means a slight on the AWM at all, but maybe they need some help in getting the remainder done up, as I am sure there will be a huge demand for them. Can't wait for the infantry diaries, do you know when they will be available? Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crunchy Posted 27 January , 2007 Share Posted 27 January , 2007 Can't wait for the infantry diaries, do you know when they will be available? Cheers, Dave Dave, Not for a while. All I know is that they are not available because they are being digitised to go on line. Regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinWills Posted 28 January , 2007 Share Posted 28 January , 2007 Does anyone know why the 2nd LH Brigade diaries for July 1915 have not been made avaialble as part of this exercise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie Posted 28 January , 2007 Share Posted 28 January , 2007 Martin, They may be missing. I found that four days of a particular battle I needed were "missing". They either had not been written up, or the paperwork had gone astray. Cheers Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinWills Posted 29 January , 2007 Share Posted 29 January , 2007 Kim, Comments noted, but it does give an item number for the diaries for that month - just no link. Elsewhere it simply does not identify a file/piece reference. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie Posted 29 January , 2007 Share Posted 29 January , 2007 I think Peter has emailed the AWM to see if it can be rectified, Cheers Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Beckett Posted 29 January , 2007 Share Posted 29 January , 2007 Hi Martin, there were 3 files that did not work for download. One was a link that was not connected and the other 2 did not have a file link or PDF size. I emailed them (AWM) on Saturday. BTW, its in the mail Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinWills Posted 29 January , 2007 Share Posted 29 January , 2007 Sometimes you spot a little gem. On 1st Aug 1915 Lt Col Arnott in his routine orders for the 7th Lt Horse wrote: Control of fire, as evidenced by last night's heavy expenditure of ammunition, still leaves much to be desired. Commanding officers are to take immediate steps to impress on the junior leaders that greatest effect is produced only when it is effectively controlled. The normal fire is the troop, and the efficiency of the troop leader is therefore of paramount importance. The value of a fire unit commander depends upon the ability to apply the fire of his unit at the right time, and in the right volume, and at the right target. Perhaps fellow pals might like to try and precis his guidance to his men? BTW Peter, Thank You - I shall await with interest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
