Napoo Corner

Practically, every town in the war-zone has its Napoo Corner, on which the Boche is supposed to vent his spite.

Thanks to Dan, Frank & Steve Schmidt for material on their maternal grandfather, Bertram Cox. 
Rest-in-Peace Molly Cox, the only child of Bertram Cox who passed away this year, and her son Dan Schmidt who passed away in 2016.
Frank & Steve Schmidt have entrusted me with Bert's collection of Great War artifacts and letters, and we will
be hearing much from Gunner Bert Cox as his journey and this journal progresses.
