Thank you. I did try to log into the National Archives but for some reason the login page was saying that it didn't exist for me!

Jim1,

Can you post a link to the war diary you referred to. It seems that TNA  have cross linked both 2/2 London Field Ambulance (WO95/2944/2) and 22 Field Ambulance (WO95/1647/2) to the war diary pages of the latter unit. The incorrect pdfs are numbered WO95/1647/2_1 to WO95/1647/2_4  so clearly relate to 22 Fd Amb.

Thank you - these are fascinating. How wonderful to see what they were up to in Ipswich which is when I presume they got to know my great-grandmother's family. I couldn't find the Colonel's name listed or other people like "Goggs?"
Thanks again

Is it an assumption that GA Harding is the Colonel or do you
have him with that rank.
He certainly wasn't C.O. of any of the 3 London FA's.

Thanks, Jim,

Unfortunately I don't have an Ancestry sub. However the TNA link you provided is the faulty one which links to the 22 Field Ambulance Diaries (with the pdf names WO95/167/2_1 etc). I assume the ones on Ancestry are the correct ones (pdfs WO95/2944/2_1 etc). The important thing is that it appears that Louise has the Ancestry link so she can access the information she needs.

Louise, the diary entries should be signed by the CO at the end of each year so you should be able to confirm that Lt Col GA Harding RAMC is the commanding officer.

Hi Jim
In the letter Ernest refers to him as "The Colonel". However in the part that G(J?)A Harding writes he mentions applying for a commission in the Artillery. Would he need a commission if he were already an officer. I have no military knowledge so don't know.
Thank you

No & it's just not possible even if he did receive a commission that he
would reach the rank of Lt. Col. by the time Ernest writes his letter even at all.
Andy the link I gave takes you to the 2/2 LFA diary as I downloaded it to check.
