Quote of the moment.....
Day quiet. Frosty. Condition of trenches bad. No duckwalks in place, water anything from 3 inches to 2ft 6ins at such points. This is a gap between right of A1 and left of H20 with no firing line but old trenches with M.G. and bombing posts. The ground there is very bad and nearly impassable. Communication trench in very bad state, waste deep in water and mud up to support line. Rations are sent up on railway.....At 9.30 PM enemy put up mine on the railway 50 yds short of our parapet. This not followed by any firing. New crater wired. Rest of night quiet.

What documents do you have?You might have treasures hidden away in a relatives cupboard or loft! The documents you own might be really helpful for someone doing their research. It's also just interesting to know what documents you have and how they came into your possession. |
