mcgregordjs Posted 27 April , 2008 Share Posted 27 April , 2008 Can anyone please tell me exactly where 5OBLI were at the opening of the German offensive on March 21st 1918? I know they were in either support or rest as part of the 42nd Brigade, 14th (light) Division near the Crozat Canal south of St Quentin. A more precise location/information would be a great help.

stiletto_33853 Posted 27 April , 2008 Share Posted 27 April , 2008 David, I will have a look through the 14th Divisions War Diary for you. In the 42nd Inf. Brigade, the 9th K.R.R.C. were manning the forward zone with the 5th Oxs & Bucks manning the Battle Zone. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto_33853 Posted 28 April , 2008 Share Posted 28 April , 2008 David, Trying to find the exact co-ordinates for you, but these might be of use to start, all from the 14th Division's War Diary for March 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
