WW1 6th Battalion Leicestershire Regt
« on: Monday 16 October 06 07:24 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have the book 'The Tigers' which is about the 6th Btn Leicestershire Regt during WW1

I would be interested in any information about the Battle of Epehy on 18th Sept 1918 when my Great Uncle was killed. I would like to find out if the book is worth buying. I live in Australia so it would be an expensive purchase for me.

Any information about 6th Battalion would be good.

Hi Jill

I don't know if the book is worth buying.  However, here is a link about the Battle of Epehy.

It might give you some idea on whether you want to delve any further.
