Mates,

I find this great also.

One thing (in line with our talk on the 3rd Cav Div) how did they have 4277 men in Sept/Oct 1917.

Were the three Bn's of the 138th Regt and MG Co still counted with the three Cav Regts of the Cav Div.

Was this before one of the (one) Cav Regt moved to the Trans Jordan?

Because by the end on the month (Oct/Nov 1917) the 3rd Div strenght had fallen to under 2000 men, possibly with or without the 125th Regt and or the 138th Regt?

Cheers

Sorry about that I just noticed that I looked at the wrong Div being the 3rd Infantry Div not the 3rd Cav Div. I got mixed up.
