Hello Listers, The above was my Chelsea born uncle who kept a diary from February 1917 until his death in N France in the November. It records a lot of names which I'd like to offer to family historians and it may well be of interest to military historians. I'd like to find out more about some of the people he named and offer whatever information I have. Rather than invite people piecemeal to apply for a fully referenced transcript of the diary, is there a site where it can be lodged where anyone interested can read it? Thanks, Alan Merryweather.

Alan - as William JE Merryweather had service with both the 23rd and 21st Battalions of the London Regiment you may want to make the London Branch of the Western Front Association aware of the diary - they almost certainly have members who would be interested. Contact chairman Charles Harvey at charlesharvey@amserve.com. The other place where diaries of this sort should be offered is the Collections Division (Department of Documents) at the Imperial War Museum - e-mail > docs@iwm.org.uk regards - Tom Tulloch-Marshall WW1 Military Research website > http://www.btinternet.com/~prosearch/index.html
