urqh is on a distinguished road
Am presently looking thru my own library at moment, well more of a room full of books piled up all over the place, no order about em, just thrown in when I finish with em.
I have a bit on Northants regts, I'll look through em a bit more specifically now, but Im sure I should be able to get something on a bn RSM at the museum this weekend. I may have to get permission to wander through the personal pics sections which are filed away but I'll ask permission tomorrow when I go and will let you know what I find when they let me see em.

As for 5ths actions I found a little more from of all places a 6 volume weekly magazine I brought in binders dont know title of mags as the previous owner cut off front sheets and just filed them as they were. But will scan relevant bits in. Map describing actions of November 42 with HATFORCE position emboldened and an 8 line description of Hatforces run in with a what looks like a German armoured ambush.


EDIT: Sorry meant to delete urqh's "went" post and merged 3 posts altogether instead.
Sorry for any confusion caused. Owen.
Sorry, I got major probs with my internet connection lately... Went to Abignton park museum yesterday, got some good pics of museum displays and read up some of the individual soldiers stories, they have a internal network that allows you to search for every Northampton soldier of ww1 and 2 if they have the info it is displayed. So if anyone has any full names they want to provide me with Ill look again tomorrow. I have got permission also to look at photos Monday. Then I will make a gallery of my findings.
Cheers.
