Mine was at Flesselles, starting on a couple of months training after being up the front on and off since January. Their next action would be in July at the Somme.

My other great-grandfather so far as I can make out was in Egypt either in the Senussi campaign or at the Suez. He'd reverted from Corporal to Driver at his own request and was working with the Army Service Corps with the 52nd divisional train.

And I'm not so sure about my other great-grandfather, he was either with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders or the Gordon Highlanders at this point, sadly I've not been able to get to his records, I can only presume that they were likely discarded or destroyed after his death in 1917.
