Observations

    I have the impression that many things that are mentioned in the diary are not RHA related: fighting on Hill 60 (previous page), firing N of Ypres, shelling of Ypres, Ypres on fire.

    Yes, I agree with you. Some diary authors like to include all the things going on around them. Others only record their own unit's activities.

    In general, you should tag only the activities of the unit the diary covers. Here, you should tag only the activities of the 4th Bde. RHA. The only exception would be place names, like Ypres.

    So, on this page you would not tag the British counterattack, as it does not seem to have involved these batteries. Also, the mine was most likely not laid and detonated by this brigade, so it should not be tagged, although the hashtag referring to it is quite all right.
