    1. Re: [GREATWAR] 18th Battn London regiment - War Diary August 1918
    2. Mike Shingleton
    3. Hello Alan, A number of war diaries have been transcribed by individuals such as Peter. However I personally don't know of any others for the London Regiment at present. That said the National Archives have started placing a number of war diaries online including some to battalions of the London Regiment. What was your uncle's name and battalion (the latter should be listed on CWGC)? Is that date of death correct? - there seem to have been a number of London men buried there who were killed on 10 December 1917.
