War diary look up.

[Red Tom]

I wonder if I might ask for some info from the war diaries for 4bn,K.L.R. My wife's grandfather was apparently listed as wounded in some way on two separate occasions,round about 20/09/1918 and again c15/10/1918. My basic ancestry subscription doesn't allow me to view this sort of info.

War diaries aren't excluded from your sub.

Here is the 4 KLR diary for Nov 1915 onwards:

Thank you for the MaxD, but following the link only gives a message telling me to upgrade my membership which isn't an option for me at present.Thanks for responding though.

Apologies, I really didn't know that there was another type of membership.

20 Sep 1918 - trenches near Villers Guislain - 5 killed 7 wounded (no names).  Battalion out of the line 13 Oct to 22 Oct so not clear about that incident.  There was a period of action 22-26 Oct but the diary is not good on casualties.

Thank you again MaxD,I really must go for a decent subscription. I've been going over the info I was sent.it seems the dates I posted were not the actual dates of the incidents,but I'm led to understand that the lists were published about 4-5 weeks after any actual wounding?                                                     The list publishing dates were 25/10/18 and 19/11/18,so the periods you mention could well pertain to my man.I shall go for the download from the link you sent.                                                                  Tom.

Your local public library might have free access to Ancestry and Findmypast through their computers.
Take a USB stick and you can download the images to take home.

pb_devon,that sounds like something I could manage without one of my grandchildren helping me...thank you for that.

Just a note to say I've finally downloaded the diaries,and am in the process of sifting through them.
Thanks again for the help given on this post. Tom.
