Well done, Coquet. Just spotted the transcription of the NF war diaries on the sister site

Well done, just noticed it also, will make an interesting read an a valuable research document.

[Coquet]

Thanks.

There's a vast amount of names on the additional material that came with it; killed, wounded, to hospital, drafts from other battalions, men off to courses, attachment etc.
It would be nice to sort it out as an alphabetical list of 'everyone who served' .
Something to do in future years I suppose.

So much to do.....so little time to do it. Do these names include the ORs, in which case an alpha list would be a tremendous piece of work.

[Coquet]

The lists contain the movements of everyone I believe, to and from the battalion including deaths: Although the lists are missing prior to about the autumn of 1916; I'm guessing (hoping) they reside in the brigade records.

The first list above shows men off on attachment to the 171st Tunnelling Company Royal Engineers.
The end of that last list shows 5 men sent back to England as Ploughmen!
