The Cees are now on line! 
I have to confess. There are certain things that one learns the hard way and websites for old guys seems to be one of those....You might notice that the C page loads and looks a lot nicer and loads a lot faster than the T-Z page. Sigh.... Apparently its all in the way one goes about constructing the page. It has only taken me about 40 hours of struggling and cursing the IT gods before I discovered how easy it can be. One just needs to go with the flow..... 

5th Canadian Siege Battery 
Apl 15th - Nil

31st Battery, 9th Brigade 
April 15th - The enemy’s heavy artillery has been most active. Particular attention was paid to VIMY RIDGE. There was however, a marked absence of shelling by the smaller calibres.
O.O. 63 issued to-day gives the new zone boundaries as follows –
RIGHT – T.19. central - T.14. Central – N.34.1. 0.0
LEFT – S.24.1.7.9 – T.8.Central – T.3.6.4.0
The 32nd Battery did not get its last gun into position until noon to-day. The roads were knee deep in mud and jammed with traffic; often there were no roads at all but a series of shell craters. At times the horses belly deep in mud were unable to make any progress except with the aid of several detachments manning wheels and drag ropes. On several stretches of the shell torn road, the guns travelled on their side as often as they did on their wheels but nevertheless the battery arrived in position with no casualties either to personnel or equipment. The 45th Battery moved forward to-night to their advanced position.

58th  Battery, 14th Brigade 
April 15th - Usual Church Parade in TIN TOWN. Two NCO’s to LARKHILL on Gun Courses.

The Rs are now on-line! I can always use any additional info or photos that you may have.

5th Canadian Siege Battery 
April 14th - Very little doing today 60 Rounds being fired on trenches in M36b 25.00 and M31c30.10.

31st Battery, 9th Brigade 
April 14th - The enemy to-day shelled his old stronghold VIMY. All Battery Commanders go forward to-day reconnoitring forward positions in VIMY and its environs. The 32nd Battery has been ordered to move into its forward position to-night. The remaining batteries will probably go forward to-morrow night. Our zone on our trenches is now T.8 Central to T.1.d.0.0., As this outranges our guns we are laid on a “Resistance Line” which runs from VIMY STATION thence along VIMY DEFENCES  and thence to LA CHAUDIERE.

58th  Battery, 14th Brigade 
April 14th - Cold rainy day. DUKE inspected lines at 12.20 NOON. The three 18 Pr. Batteries in PARK at BATTY GUN DRILL, the HOW BATTY at the O ? work across HASLEMERE RD. H.R.H. and retinue were aminatographed. GR. BULLEN C.L. 58th BATTY awarded 28 days detention on 13.4.17 by R.C.M. for absence without leave. CPL ATKINSON to WOOLWICH.

NominalTechnology is a wonderful thing. When it works properly....... or if the operator knows its limitations! The original Nominal Roll page became unwieldy (it became slower and slower and required numerous reboots to refresh itself). I believe that it was a simple case of putting too many pieces of information on one page.
Solution? - I've created multiple pages for the nominal rolls and the website seems to be responding faster! 
Check them out here:

Apl 13th - No entry.

 31st Battery, 9th Brigade 
April 13th - Enemy has withdrawn from VIMY. By 11 o’clock this morning our Infantry were holding it, and by afternoon our men were seen in the vicinity of VIMY STATION. At present everyone is engaged in the pleasant past time of “FIND THE HUN”. Reports have been coming in all day that he has been seen in large numbers in various places, but usually ten minutes later another report comes in stating that our patrols are at these points. There is however, no doubt but that the enemy is now well back towards AVION. Our line to-night would appear to be roughly LE CHAUDIERE – VIMY RAILWAY STATION and thence southerly along the railway.

58th  Battery, 14th Brigade 
April 13th - Section training and cleaning up for H.R.H. DUKE OF CONNAUGHT tomorrow.
