Richard - An name index would only be useful if you were looking for an Officer as most Other Ranks O.R.(s) weren't named unless they were charged for an offense or got mentioned in the daily dispatches etc.  Usually some like this would be recorded - 10 O.R.s were killed in action today.   My grandfather Abraham Cannell was in the 1st Battalion of the East Surrey Regiment.  He had returned to the WW1 from where he was living in Alberta, Canada.  He lost a leg in 1917 and was released.   I have hard copies of the diaries and have found them extremely interesting as to how they lived in the trenches etc but not very helpful as to name him by name.     Donna King Barrie, Ontario Canada   --- On Sat, 10/3/09, Richard M Brown <brownrichardm@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: From: Richard M Brown <brownrichardm@yahoo.co.uk> Subject: Re: [SRY] "The Surreys" War Diaries 1914 -1919 online To: eng-surrey@rootsweb.com Received: Saturday, October 3, 2009, 3:11 PM Ann Thank you for the link to a super site.  It's a shame there is no name index ..  yet?  Richard & Flora Brown Bromley Kent U.K. ________________________________ From: Ann Sargeant <ann.sargeant@ntlworld.com> To: "Eng-Surrey@rootsweb.com" <ENG-SURREY@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, 3 October, 2009 11:05:53 Subject: [SRY] "The Surreys" War Diaries 1914 -1919 online The Great War Diaries (1914-1919) of The Queen's Royal West Surrey, and The East Surrey Regiments  by are in transcript form online at: http://qrrarchive.websds.net/menu1.aspx?li=1 There is also an archive of photographs and maps.
