Moderators: Tagging Query Diary 18 Btn DLI-ending page 253 for 24-28 Feb 1919.

  • marie.eklidvirginmedia.com by marie.eklidvirginmedia.com

    This diary includes Diary for 13 Btn *Yorks & Lancashire Regiment, 31st Div. 93rd Inf.Bde. - this diary being misfiled.

    This is the link for the last page of the diary for Feb 1919 for 18 Btn Durham Light Infantry: https://talk.operationwardiary.org/#/subjects/AWD00041ja On the pages entry at the bottom of the diary pages it says 274 pages. It ended at page 253.

    After page 253 for the 18 Btn DLI – A Cover page for the 13 Btn *Yorks & Lancashire Regiment came next, page 254 for March 1918: Link https://talk.operationwardiary.org/#/subjects/AWD00041ga The next page 255 being another cover page for 13 Btn *Yorks & Lancashire Regiment March 1918. Which probably will carry on to page 274.

    I have a query with the 13 Btn *Yorks & Lancashire Regiment. I was going to continue with the tagging of the Diary of the 13 Btn *Yorks & Lancashire Regiment from page 253 but I have noticed on the Diary Selection page there is a another diary to be tagged for the 13th Yorks & Lancashire Regiment also for March 1918 – saying 222 pages.

    I will not continue tagging the diary pages from 254 for the Yorks & Lancashire Regiment March 1918 because I am wondering if these entries for the 13th Yorks & Lancashire Regiment for March 1918 contained in the diary of the 18th DLI maybe duplicate pages.
    By the way the diary *Yorks & Lancashire Regiment March 1918 is probably the same diary as the Yorks & Lancaster Regiment.

    Perhaps you could check these diaries out. Is one a duplicate of another?

    I am willing to continue tagging the misfiled diary of the *Yorks & Lancashire Regiment March 1918 from page 254 but could be duplicating work. Perhaps you can let me know. I will continue with another diary for the present – Seeing I am the first person tagging the Diary of the 18 Btn DLI pages at the moment, page 254 would probably come up again if I went back into it if not duplicated, but I think it must be.

    Hope you can understand this.

    Thanks, Marie. Please don't tag those pages, as they'll then be linked to the 18th DLI. Just use the #misfiled hashtag. At some point we might be able to get the 13th York & Lancaster pages as a separate file, if they're not duplicated elsewhere.

    Rob, Should Marie put something in the comments of the first page of the 13th York & Lancaster pages to tell others not to tag them as well?

    Moderators - Would you like me to put the following comments on the Cover page 254, Cover page 255 and page 256 which is the start of the #misfiled diary for the 13th Yorks & Lancashire Regiment?

    I can bring up pages 254, 255 and 256. Page 256 should be the start of diary dates for 13th Yorks & Lancashire Regiment, i.e.(#misfiled diary – Please Do Not tag any of these diary pages) – Moderators.

    I could enter on last page 253, for 18 Btn DLI – i.e. (Please Do Not Tag Following #misfiled pages for 13 Yorks & Lancs Regiment).
    What woud you suggest the comments should be? and I will enter them.

    Anything along those lines would be fine, Marie.

    It would also be helpful if you could still click the Finished button for the pages belonging to the 13th York and Lancasters in the normal way. Just don't drop any tags.

    Thanks.

    Ral, I have inserted the comments #misfiled diary – Please Do Not tag this cover page for 13 Yorks & Lancs Regiment - Moderators. For pages for pages 254 and 255

    and for 256, #misfiled diary-Please Do Not tag this page for 13 Yorks & Lancs Regiment or any following - Moderators.

    For the last page of the Diary of the 18 Btn DLI have commented:

    Please Do Not Tag Following #misfiled pages for 13 Yorks & Lancs Regiment). – Moderators

    I did not tag anything just pressed the finished buttons.

    First time I have seen a diary contained in another diary and also appearing on the Diary Page selection also.

    Thanks, Marie 😃

    I haven't worked out yet whether the misfiled diary is a duplicate of the 13th York & Lancs diary in the tagging queue, but hopefully it will be. That way we won't miss anything.

    Cynthia/Ral. I have a query re tagging of certain pages of the diary for the 13th Yorks & Lancs which I have noticed are being commented on and being tagged, their page comments being shown today Monday.

    You will notice that these comments for the following pages for the 13th Yorks & Lancs, have the Title heading of the diary for the 18 Btn Durham Light Infantry – I think they are #misfiled pages for 13th Yorks & Lancs which are being tagged and could be included in the Diary of the 18 Btn Durham Light Infantry because of my report to you.

    My report: Misfiled Cover page for 13th Yorks & Lancs in with the diary of 18 Btn Durham Light Infantry. See my report discussion and your comments to this on following page link:

    https://talk.operationwardiary.org/#/boards/BWD000000h/discussions/DWD0001j2j

    Here are 4 links for diary pages for 13th Yorks & Lancs which are being tagged.

    Page 269 https://talk.operationwardiary.org/#/subjects/AWD00041eb
    Page 270 https://talk.operationwardiary.org/#/subjects/AWD00041ev
    Page 273 https://talk.operationwardiary.org/#/subjects/AWD00041kb
    Page 274 https://talk.operationwardiary.org/#/subjects/AWD00041fz

    Hope you can understand this query, just thought I would mention these because these 4 pages have the headings of the 18 Btn Durham Light Infantry.

    PS There is a diary on the Diary page selection for 13 Btn Yorks and Lancaster Regiment 1 March 1918-31st March 1918. I brought up one of the pages and it has the correct heading.

    Link: https://www.operationwardiary.org/#/classify/5a60bd689cccfc003e002df9

    PPS I noticed these pages because I thought there were a lot of names that needing to be tagged and wondered which diary they were from, then noticed the page title was for the 18 Btn Durham Light Infantry.

    Thanks, Marie. I have added the #misfiled hashtag to each of the four pages with the nominal roll, and the person who tagged them had already labeled them as from the 13th York & Lancs. There really isn't anything we can do about it except mark them this way to alert other taggers.
