Hello Jim;

I've received some information which indicates that the 182nd Brigade, A Battery, Royal Field Artillery may have been part of the Divisional formation of the 56th Division. Do you have anything which might confirm this?

Thanks

Hello Jim,

could you please tell me what the 49th (West Riding) division were doing on the 27th of June 1916 and where exactly on the Somme were they.

I have a soldier who died from wounds on this day, he was in the 246th (West Riding) Brigade, RFA.

Any help or advice would be appreciated,

yours,

Peter.

Hello there, I have just found your kind offer of information on regimental history.

Could I have some information on the 1/7th Notts and Derby encompassing the period September 1915 to June 1917 please.

If I could have a few pages I'd be very grateful. I'm not sure how much info there is, but any would give me an idea of grandfather's travels and experience.
