Cpl Edward Hanslip 1 Battalion E. Lancs. Regiment
« on: Monday 19 December 11 22:30 GMT (UK) »
I don't know if anyone can help. Edward Hanslip was originally an 'Accrington Pal' in 11 Battalion E. Lancs. Regt. He was wounded first day of Somme and transferred to 1 Battalion where he remained until his death on 21 March 1918. He has no known grave and I have wanted to try a pinpoint his last days. There is a war diary for 1 Battalion (and 11th) but it ends in January 1918 as far as I can tell from the WO documents. Anyone know of a diary beyond then or how to find out? Thanks.

That seems exactly right - do you know if it is online or needs to be viewed at Kew? Many thanks.

It's only available at Kew I'm afraid.

Sorry to bother you again, you've been of great help. Unfortunately I cannot open the .jpgs - says I don't have permission. I've registered with the forum but it doesn't seem to matter.
