gem22 Posted 30 December , 2003 Share Posted 30 December , 2003 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. Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeldr Posted 31 December , 2003 Share Posted 31 December , 2003 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.

Chris_Baker Posted 31 December , 2003 Share Posted 31 December , 2003 Garth 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.

gem22 Posted 31 December , 2003 Author Share Posted 31 December , 2003 Michael and Chris Thanks very much for that. I'll have another look next chance I get to go to the PRO. Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmsk212 Posted 31 December , 2003 Share Posted 31 December , 2003 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. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
