Michelle, I nearly missed your post. Wayne is right! You're next. (Or is it Wayne?)

Hill 60

- There are lots of smashed concrete shelters there.

- The memorial on the top is to the QUEEN VICTORIA's Rifles, so that's the Royal name.

- Just a few metres from the memorial is a small slab lying on the grass, mentioning "Our comrade John Olliff". John was a member of the Queen Victoria's Rifles Association.

I see, thanks.

OK here we go............

Wayne is stood in a cemetery in sight of 3 bitterly contested hills, alongside a decorated soldier. For some reason he keeps thinking of vanilla pods

Where is Wayne and who is he stood by?

Dud Corner, and the hills are Lorette, Vimy and the crassier, but I don't know who the decorated soldier is.

If it is Dud Corner, it could be:

Captain Anketell Read VC, or

Harry Wells VC

or a non-VC?

Presumably the Vanilla Pods "clue" sorts this bit out (if we are looking at Dud Corner)
