ddycher Posted 9 October , 2009 Share Posted 9 October , 2009 All I am trying to get more detail on the activities on the 2/5th Hants from their arrival in Egypt early April uptil 3rd Gaza. If anyone has any information or recommendations on where I can get more detail I would appreciate the support. Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonmate Posted 9 October , 2009 Share Posted 9 October , 2009 Dave What you need is the Bn War Diary,WO95/4689, which covers Egypt from May 1917 to Jul 1918. If you can wait a couple of weeks I will see if I can look at it for you. Sotonmate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 9 October , 2009 Share Posted 9 October , 2009 Dave, I have a copy of The History of the Hampshire Territorial Force ..., which has a couple of pages in note form, but quite interesting. I'm ashamed to say I have a backlog of promised scans , but PM me an e-mail address and I'll add it to the pile. Similarly, a PM to forum member marc thompson might be worth a spin.
