Hi forester,

You said in your last posting that 10 drivers were dispatched to France do you where they went.

Very new to looking in to WW1 so do not know what I can find.

What is the TNA?

Why is the second doc called a casualty form was he injured?

I also have a protection certificate what is it.

TNA = The National Archives - at Kew. The War Diary referred to will give a day by day account of what his unit did, where it went etc. He might get a mention but it was usually officers who were referred to by name.

Thank you Bernard,

WO 95/2521 hasn't been digitised yet. They seem to be concentrating on the most popular infantry diaries first.

It is a fairly extensive file by the looks of it, so you would have to be specific if ordering through the old system, unless you've got a pot of gold spare.
