Can anyone please tell me anything of the movements etc. of 8/ London Regt (Post Office Rifles) 140th Brigade, 47th Division on 30 March 1917.

Thankyou,

Roger.

1st Battalion was in the Salient, probably in the Hill 60 area. Devonshire Camp was a base when out of the line, divisional baths at Reninghelst.

2nd Battalion was on the Somme during the retreat to the Hindenburg Line. No specifics on either.

Source is Charles Messenger's "Terriers in the Trenches".

The soldier I am looking at is buried at BEDFORD HOUSE CEMETERY Ieper, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium. That would suggest he was in 1/8 Post Office Rifles.

PS Is it normal to reply to your own posts or is akin to talking to yourself?
