jdajd Posted 10 June , 2005 Share Posted 10 June , 2005 Stephen; I have to concur with the above posters. I have siad it a number of times, but this site and the people who post here are absolutley amazing with the wealth of knowledge thats available. I have often felt intimidated to post, but it has proved to be one of the best ways of truly learning this war and about the men who fought it. I have posted a story that I am writing for criticism and ideas and the people were so helpful it made what could be a terrifying prospect into a pleasure. I am also trying to plan a trip to the Somme for 2006 and people have come out of the woodwork to help. Along these lines, I hope you'd still be willing to ping me anything you had on the 9th. I have to admit my ignorance of computers, but I assume pinging has something to do with email. If not or there is a charge please let me know and again, I'd be more than happy to take care of it. Thanks Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephenb Posted 10 June , 2005 Author Share Posted 10 June , 2005 Jon, I think it could be a very moving experience when you finally get to High Wood, especially when you can actually identify the directions of attacks, experience the surrounding landscape and features first hand, and observe the outline of the infamous Switch Line. So roll on 2006 in that respect! I'll certainly ping/email you as much as I have on the 9th. I presume you're interested in material relating to the 1915 period as well as the War Diary etc? Regards, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The following were among the burial grounds from which British graves were removed to Woburn Abbey Cemetery: THE CHERIOTS, RUE-DU-BOIS, RICHEBOURG-L'AVOUE, in an orchard on the North side of the Rue-du-Bois West of Richebourg-L'Avoue, where 16 soldiers from the United Kingdom and one from India were buried in the summer of 1915 Regards Leigh Just seen there was a page 2 of this tread , not much help after all !!
