I AM currently engaged in writing a book on The Great War. The subject is a battle which took place at Hebuterne/Gommecourt in Artois in France, which occurred on 1.7.1916, the first day of the Somme. One of the formations involved in the affair was the 56th (London) Division, which constituted such battalions of the London Regiment as the Kensingtons, Queen?s Westminsters, London Rifle Brigade, London Scottish, Queen Victoria Rifles, the Rangers and the London Royal Fusiliers; also the 7th and 8th Middlesex Regiments and the 5th Cheshire Regiment. All of these units recruited men from across Devon, a number of whom became casualties in this confrontation. If any of your readers possess material providing information on these units for the period February to July 1916, I should appreciate the assistance.
