8th (Service) Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers

[dlh4042]

Hi all,

This is a bit of a different type of post to the usual requests, Admins, hopefully this request is allowed here. I am currently researching the 8th (Service) Battalion of the Northumberland Fusiliers in WW1, with a view to, hopefully, publishing a battalion history, I have the various war diaries for the battalion, the official histories of the war etc, what I'm really after are the personal accounts, anecdotes, photographs, letters home etc by the men who served as it is those that will really bring my project to life.

I'm hoping to hear from anyone who had a relative who served in that battalion during the First World War or who has any information that I could use in my project.

Many hopeful thanks

Dave

I deleted your other post as it was a duplicate to the one above.

Dave, can I assume that this the ongoing project. It cannot hurt to advertise it, as it a not for profit, and run on a volunteer basis

Hi Steve,

It's my own, and very much ongoing project, as much as I'd love to get the finished article published one day I'm doing it to tell their story, as no battalion history exists for them.

You seem to have done a very good job so far. I've had quick look over, and it's quite impressive, to say the least.

Very well done.

Steve.

PS. I know Facebook is not everyones cup of tea, do you have an account on there. Something you just might consider, if not. Find My Past and Ancestry have pages on there, as well as various Family History groups.

Sorry, Steve, I misunderstood what you were asking. No, the project that you linked has nothing to do with me, though it is a useful site.
