      I notice from a post from you in November that you have access to the War Diaries of the 2nd Battalion Rifle Brigade. I have been trying to locate them for some time and wondered where I can get access to them. My uncle Frederick Bird was in the 2nd Battalion and was killed on 25th Sep 1915 when I think they were in action at Bois Grenier. I have seen the diary for that day on the internet. However what interests me is that he arrived in France at the end of May 1915 and was killed on 25th Sep. I can't see that the 2nd Btn were in action from May to Sep and wondered if that is true. Presumably the diary would show that. I did find someone on line with a copy of the 1915 yearbook of his employers with his obituary showing him as a machine gunner and I believe that puts him in 'A'Company. I have visited his grave at Sailly sur Lys.
      Sorry to go on so long but I wondered if you could help or advise.
