Hi Bob,

There are divisional histories, and they are all HERE. You can search a regiment or a division. When you have the regiment, the site give you the divisional history.
203e + 312e were in the 65th division
252e was in the 64th division.
Only one problem : these divisional histories are very short.

In December 1916 :
- 55th division was in Avocourt sector
- 64th division was in Hill 304 sector
- 65th division was in Mort Homme sector

Arnaud;

Many thanks for your help. I have incorporated your information into my material. Do you know why 98% of the regimental histories do not identify the author? Perhaps army regulations, or custom, did not allow serving officers from writing and publishing such material?
