Many years ago I looked at the War Diary which I believed was the one relevant to the unit of The London Regiment my uncle served in when he was killed 10 December 1918. I had no means of being sure it was the right one He lies buried at Flequieres Hill British Cemetery Have any other diaries been transcribed? Alan Merryweather Have now added my transcription of the war diary for the London Irish Rifles for August 1918 where it seems that most casualties were caused by either the enemy being "warned" of the attack or by our own barrage falling short onto our own soldiers. Details in the miltary section of my website at the link below. Best Regards Peter Rimell http://www.rimell.u-net.com/
Hi I recently obtained a book describing the movements of the 17th Battn London regiment (the poplars) during WW1 based on a combination of a personal and War Diaries Is Flequieres Hill British Cemetery during December 1918 relevant to any particular battle? I could cross-reference it with my book? However, surely your's uncle medal record card would give you the relevant regiment with which he was serving?
