Hi all,
I have spent several years researching the history of Spring Hill College, Moseley, Birmingham, where the 3rd Bttn Birmingham Pals (16th Bttn Royal Warwickshire Regt) received basic training between October 1914 and May 1915. To anyone interested in any aspect of the Birmingham Pals I strongly recommend Terry Carter's comprehensive and well researched book, Birmingham Pals, available online.
So far as we have been able to ascertain, the 16th was the only Warwickshie battalion not to publish its full war diaries and what has been quoted in this thread is, in some respects, new to me and very useful information. Thanks MaxD.
Maria Eva, I have sent you a PM.
Regards,
Keith
