Battalion's histories: who can help...?
Hello everybody,
I have managed to buy a great deal of books on the AIF battalions. We are still missing a lot of them, for they were too expensive, not available or simply non exsisting?
We are still looking for the following histories:
1-3-4-11-13-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-24-25-26-27-31-32-34-35-36-39-40-41-42-43-44-47-48-49-50-51-52-53-54-55-56-57-58-59-60-61-62
Who could check their libraries and copy the part on Passchendaele for us ?
email me at: [email protected]
Thank you!!!
jan

Re: Battalion's histories: who can help...?
I can probably do the 3rd, 13th, 17th, but it may take some time (weeks, rather than days). Somethat you are chasing have never been written. Others you can find a soldier's memoir for.

Re: Battalion's histories: who can help...?
Hi Jan
I can do (the 13th also), the 21st and the 57th / 60th. The 42nd is available on-line at the Digger History website.
Have you been in touch with Andrew P & Tim D (Blackblue) on the Great War Forum - between them they have most unit histories that are available - they might be able to help.
I'll probably photocopy them & send them snailmail (could take me forever to scan & email) - will try & find some time this weekend.
Cheers, Frev (or as you prefer - Heather)

Just to let you know I've sent Jan the relevant pages from the 13th Bn History - so you don't need to bother about that one.
(as well as the others I mentioned)
Cheers, Frev

Thanks, Frev. I'm on holidays at the moment so not near a photocopier.
