Hi

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

Best regards

Not his diary but this may be of interest?

The National Army Museum holds 2 items:

Perhaps try the regimental museum?

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
