As always I'm a real dufuss with the Archives .... could somebody tell me the right way to find what I'm looking for please ? I 'm trying to find HQ Noper Force ..... one of the priests on my Honour Roll - Father Hubert Furlong renewed his contract on 4th July 1917 in Mesopotamia ...... HQ Noper Force .... but I can't seem to find out anything about it http://www.freewebs.com/liverpoolannie/fatherhubert.htm I was told that this is probably an abbreviation for the North Persia Force - and I should try TNA .... These are the War Diaries held at Kew - but I can't find anything for 1917 !! NORTH PERSIA FORCE WO 95/5045 Headquarters Branches and Services WO 95/5045 General Staff 1918 Sept. - 1919 Feb.
