Remembered Today:

war diaries

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to locate the war diaries for 8th Div MT coy ASC for May 1918 and the diary for 'O' battery RHA for Sept 1915.

Can anyone tell me where I might find them? They are not listed in the Index of battalions in the PRO under WO 95.

8th Div MT coy ASC

Garth,

re ASC: Is this what you are looking for?

From Michael Young's history 'Army Service Corps 1902-1918,' Annex Q

"ASC Co. 74, Western Front, 8th Division, Divisional (MT) Company, WO95-830"

Regards

Michael D.R.

O Battery RHA does not seem to have a diary, but V Brigade does, although the heathens at the PRO show it as 5 Brigade. (The Battery belonged to this Brigade, as show on this page).

Do this: at PRO site click on "Catalogues" > then "PROCAT" > then "Search the catalogues" > then enter this search term "royal AND horse AND artillery" and reference "WO95", and you'll get the lot.

If ever you can't find Brigades, Battalions, Batteries and Corps etc in the diaries it is always worth looking in WO 95 / 5494 Western Front Diary. This is a very useful source of information for locations etc.
