Recently I looked through the Queens battalion diary for the period when the 7th was broken up and found them remarkably detailed, with daily orders and even a list of those transferred over from the Ox and Bucks.  Unfortunately (or fortunately) I found mention of the person I was researching in the first of the files I ordered and didn't have time to do the other two Battalions. 
In the OBLI War Diary I a map for Coriano which I photographed.  Happy to email a copy to others which may help for map refs for Gemmano etc if you PM me your email and/or address

Hi - I am searching for any records from 7Bn OBLI as to my great uncle Leonard Alfred George Limmer transferred to 1/8Bn Royal Fusiliers (City of London) on 10th Feb 1944 and was killed with 1/8Bn 8 days later

I would be extremely grateful if you had any info as Ive drawn a blank with the Fusilier records

Many thanks
Cliff

hi all

I now have the war diaries for the period 1 Feb 1944 to 25 Feb 1944 - any listed in them were officers - including the report of Roger Waters' fathers death on the same day as my great-uncle

Perhaps they were in Z Company together ... maybe I will never know

Its Remembrance Sunday next week and Ive put my wooden cross out for him as I have done these past few years since discovering more about him as the family dont really talk about it

Leonard Alfred George Limmer b. 1919 d. Anzio 18th Feb 1944

Thanks all, my father in law (84 now) concurs with the Bullnose but unsure on the other 2

@Vintman no issues with sharing and when I get to the bottom of it will update this thread

As ever thanks to all the Rootschatters !!!
