Thanks Chris, you’re YouTube and book of the Lys battle was very helpful thanks as Teesside Pioneers were part of 40th Div. who as you know had the Portuguese to their right…

I’m looking for officer records for 12th Service Bn. Yorkshire Regiment, Teesside Pioneers, I think it might be better if I ask the Green Howard’s museum, rather than the TNA, it only occurred to me after you messaged, I’m trying to write a book about them, as my grandfather served with them in WW1.

Here you go Chris, currently struggling to write the story of the 'Teesside Pioneers'...ps got some good ideas from your Battle of the Lys video on YouTube, the 12th Yorks were part of the 'Forgotten Fourtieth' a one time Bantam Div. ended up with 2nd Portuguese Div. on their right flank...

Is that available on line at all, I have a particular interest in 40th Div. and it’s Pioneer Bn. as it was disbanded in May of 1918 due to casualties from the Lys battle.
