Hi Nicola, I don't have an answer for you myself, but if anyone knows, it will be these people - http://www.fusiliersmuseum-lancashire.org.uk/ Have you tried getting hold of regimental histories?

My ancestor died in June 1918 at 3rd Canadian Stationary Hospital in Doullens. I am wanting to visit the area next year and would like to do some background research about the battles, so I'm not just looking at open fields! I want to be able to see in my head where he would have been and what he may have encountered. Events leading up to his death etc. I know he was buried in the Gezaincourt Communal Cemetery. He was in the 17th Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers and enlisted in Woolwich (previously he was in the RAVC). I have looked at a few websites but cannot see a particular battle that was happening there at the time of his injury. Any help will be gratefully received as I am getting nowhere fast. Thanks. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nottinghamshire_genealogy/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GREATWAR-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
