    Which diary of the 2nd K.R.R.C. is this? I think there are three of them up right now.

    I've been doing the one that covers January 1917 on through the spring of 1919, and this page isn't from that one.

    I did recognize Lt. Fryer, though.

    It is the one for the 1st Dec 1915-31 March 1916. 147 pages. Nearly all of it is Orders etc. Quite a few pages out of order, which I commented on at the time. Also the Author doe not state the year in question most of the time. So when making a comment I have included the year.

    Cynthia, By the way, Cover page for February 1916 lists against Appendix 9 – List of Officers for February 1916. This list did not appear – the one for January 1916 did. All pages ran in sequence for the diary of the 2nd Btn King’s Royal Rifle Corps. Link for Appendix in question:

    Okay, thanks for letting me know about the pages. That's interesting about the cards, too.
