    The above page number (900) is for the diary of the 6th Div: 2 Brigade Royal Field Artillery – 2nd to 11th November 1918. This I tagged as #misfiled, because there were NO diary pages for the month of October 1918. The next page to come up (901) is for the 1-13th December 1918 - which I have not tagged yet. Therefore, there are NO entries for the 12th to end of November 1918. Note: On the diary page 900 for 2-11th November there is a note in the margin stating “See Appendix 1a for Operations 2-11th November 1918”. Pages do run in sequence.

    Thanks for reporting this, Marie. I'll let the IWM people know - they can make a note and feed it through to the National Archives in a batch.

    http://talk.operationwardiary.org/#/subjects/AWD0002ooy 1-5th November 1918 – none for rest of month.

    #correction - Sorry I, gave you the wrong dates for the above diary for page (900) which should have been 1-5th November 1918.

    Message below altered to read the correct dates: http://talk.operationwardiary.org/#/subjects/AWD0002ooy

    #corrected message: - The above page number (900) is for the diary of the 6th Div: 2 Brigade Royal Field Artillery – (1-5th November 1918).

    BUT please note: I have just tagged as #misfiled, Page 904 of the same diary. The dates mentioned are (5-30th) but no month. This page appears to be the missing diary page for 5th continued date- to 30th November 1918 – as it states Hostilities ended 11.00am 11th . Really sorry about this and hope you can understand this message. Page 904 is http://talk.operationwardiary.org/#/subjects/AWD0002p3l
