There weretwo primary reasons for me building the Web Site, one, to Remember the Lost Innocenceof Youth, during the 1914 – 1918 Conflict, and two, hopefully, to Educatepeople about the First World War. And I do suppose there is a third reason, Iam very passionate about the First World War, and have been to manyBattlefields in France and Belgium. There are many, but these are some I havebeen fortunate to visit, The Somme, Ypres, Passchendaele, Arras, Vimy Ridge,Messines Ridge, Mons, Loos, Verdun, and many British and Commonwealth WarCemeteries.

I am a 56Year old man, and live in Lincolnshire. I was a Managing Director of an OfficeSupplies Business for 30 Years, and also a Director of a Buying Consortiumbased in Sheffield. I took early retirement at 50, and now try to Design Website'sunder my Company Name of Smart Solutions UK.

I was alsovery fortunate to be invited to the Burial of the 6 "Grimsby Chums". TheseBoys, were found in a Mass Grave near Arras, and the Ceremony was held at Pointdu Jour Cemetery in 2002.

I designedand built this Website for the purpose of People who are interested in TheHistory of the First World War. This is by no means a Full and Comprehensiveover view of the War, but a quick preliminary overview.

It can beused by anyone who is interested in First World War History, Students atSchool, and even University Undergraduates who wish to gain a betterunderstanding of moments in history which have affected this Country.

On the Siteyou will find information relating to the Battles of Ypres, Passchendaele, TheSomme, Marne, Retreat from Mons, Loos, and again many more, the life's of the"British Tommy" in the Trenches, how they lived and how they died. The gasattacks at the Second battle of Ypres, and many more other interesting facts.
