Mislabeled diary

  • Stork by Stork

    I'm doing 6 Infantry Brigade 5 Battalion King's Liverpool Regiment (31 Jan 1915 - 30 Dec 1915). I've done 50 pages, and it's been Jan + Feb 1918. Also, the pages say 1st Bn King's Regt, not 5th Bn.

    Thanks for letting us know. We can't check on the whole diary at the moment because our program for that is not currently up, but I'll take a look at it when I can.

    There was a 1/5th King's Liverpool battalion in the 6th Brigade, but only during 1915, so if the pages you're seeing are dated 1918, then it should be the 1st Bn. King's Liverpool. There wasn't actually a King's Liverpool battalion numbered just 5th.
