Drobo,
 Unable to find a link that works but, if you type in the following on your server it should take you to it.
Battle of Passchendaele, 2nd December 1917.
Click on  "A Moonlight Massacre"  which should get you there.
Best of Luck,
Sharki.

The link to the thesis is http://etheses.bham.ac.uk/3188/2/LoCicero11PhD1.pdf

Thanks Sharki - an interesting read.

For a 2nd Berks viewpoint you can read the war diary on the museum website - http://www.thewardrobe.org.uk/research/war-diaries/search

A decent account of the 2nd Berks in the action can be found in http://www.purley.eu/RBR3272.pdf

Thanks Sharki

I downloaded the document written by Michael Lo Cicero and also noticed he had a document with other appendices with maps etc....your additional links are also very helpful.
Thanks once again

Sharki
Just to say thanks again for your information. As a result I have made contact with the author of Midnight Massacre and he is speaking to my father later today to see if he can share information about the battle.
