Does anyone have the names of the commanding officers and company commanders or the 2/Northants and 2/Wilts while they were on the Scarpe River west and east of Arras? all assistance appreciated. Thanks. Jerry
CO of 2 Wilts was Lt-Col EEJ Moore War Diaries - The Wardrobe housing The Rifles Berkshire and Wiltshire Museum rest of officers listed on this page for 25th May. War Diaries - The Wardrobe housing The Rifles Berkshire and Wiltshire Museum oops that's a few days too late but you can look up the days you need 21st May Capt Read O.C 'B' Coy War Diaries - The Wardrobe housing The Rifles Berkshire and Wiltshire Museum Kenrick's history of the Wilts says this for 16th May. But not which companies they commanded. At this time the Company Commanders were Major LH Bearne and Captains JLR Huelin, CF Read, Lord Arundell and CFG Bond. this gives company commanders & their companies Defence of Arras
Just came across an old thread I started about Lord Arundell . Had forgotten it. Captain The Lord Arundell of Wardour , 2 Wilts PoW.
