War Diaries

[lweston191]

I am trying to get information on a couple of people and would love to gain more information from the war diaries:

James Edward Wear - Leicester Regiment 16220

Robert Willetts, I know one the MM and have records etc but anything from the war diaries would be great (66720)

and William Benjamin Willetss (59005)

The war diaries are specific to each battalion of a regiment, so unless you know in which battalion of the Leicester Regiment your men served in it is impossible to know which diary to consult. Here is the link to the relevant National Archive page:
