The Gloucestershire Regiment WW1

[ringwarrior]

Does anyone have a copy of 'The Gloucestershire Regiment in the War 1914-1918'
written by Everard Wyrell published by Methuen 1931.
I am trying to find out details about the Battle of the Somme where my Grandfather was wounded while serving with the 1st Gloucestershire (Glosters).
2nd hand copies seem to fetch hundreds of pounds so it would really be appreciated if anyone could help me.  He was wounded on 6/9/1916.

Thanks

Hi
Thanks for the suggestion.
I have searched this site and then contacted the regiment.
They suggested that I bought the book!

You could request the book from your local library via the Inter-library loan system. It may take a while to come, but at least its an option.

Thanks for the tip Amy. I didn't realise that libraries would get books from out of county.

Thanks for the link Kev. It will be great when the day to day gets uploaded.

I have read a few books on the subject but they only make passing references to the Glosters.

It would be great to get my hands on a copy of the book.

If I manage to I will et you know and we can share information
