South African brigade who fought at Delville Wood
« on: Saturday 28 May 16 12:57 BST (UK) »
Would anyone be able to help please? A group of us veterans are attending the centenary anniversary of the battle of Delville Wood this year in July. We are looking for a group photo of the South African brigade who fought from the 14/7/1916 to 20/7/1916. Nearly 4000 troops entered the wood and only 140 troops and 3 officers walked out on the 20th. My grandfather was wounded in the morning of the 20th and sent to be treated at a hospital in Richmond. Thank you.
