Hi

Can anyone tell me where the diary kept by Norwood during the Boer War can be found currently?

Best regards

Hi

Thanks to all of you. I will be in London over December so I'll then try to look at the photo album in the National Army Museum. I see there is a quote from Norwood at page 23 in David Biggins' wonderful Elandslaagte book and I was wondering what the source was? In a book on the siege of Ladysmith there is a reference to an entry from Norwood's diary, but a source is not given. I will keep looking.

Bst regards

Peter
