| 27th July -Messines Ridge letter scans For new users of blogs, at the risk of stating the obvious, everything is in the reverse order from that of a "normal" journal or diary.
If you want to pick up Harry's story and follow it properly, it may make sense to start with the first archive, July 2006 and to work forwards to August 2007. (Actually August 1917). (To make things even more complicated, each archive is also in reverse order - [..] |

| Error in Letter dating - apologies to all The letter reported as 9th October 1917 was more likely to have been written today, 27th October 1917. I will amend the date accordingly in a few days.
The actual letter was undated. It was written after a day on the range and I could only find one possible day for that in the Battalion's War Diary. I missed a second small entry on 27th October.
Reading the letter, this date is more likely to [..] |

| 22nd July; More on Messines Ridge I need to let the reader know that we have a gap in the letters. I don't think that Harry didn't write any, I suspect that a small bundle was lost or removed. I know that this is slightly against the spirit of the blog, but the family at home would probably have had the comfort of letters.
I have, thanks to a helpful reader, found the location of Harry's Unit for this battle. It would appear [..] |
