Jef Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I was wondering if someone could give me the whereabouts of the 2/17th London Regiment ( poplar & Stephney Rifles) from 1 till 11 november 1918. According to the 30th Division history the Poplars were very actice during the last days of WWI.Kind regards,Jef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Jef - I'm afraid it looks as if the right member hasn't found this post yet. We must keep hoping ? When I was in the Met.. Police I was at Bethnal Green - but Poplar and Stepney were part of 'H' Division - so I know it well. Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jef Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hello Mervyn, thank you for your reaction, but according to the 30th divisional history the 2/17th London's were here in Flanders at the end of the war. I also enclose an entry from British Regiments by Brig James . So I still hope one of GMIC's gentlemen has a regimental history in his collection. kind regards, Jef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jef Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Meanwhile I found the info about the 2/17th Londeners. Trefor Jones , author of "On Fame's Eternal Camping ground "supplied the information. Thank you gentlemen, Jef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
