Location of 2nd KOSB
« on: Thursday 27 August 20 16:43 BST (UK) »
Can anyone supply me with information as to the actions of 2nd Battalion KOSB on 4th June 1916 and the 15th April 1915. I have a relative who was wounded on both these dates.
Many thanks ,

Perhaps the museum could help you:

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

You can download the battalion war diary for free at present :

If you have Ancestry it is there also:

Shout if you need more help once you have the diary.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
