Iain Posted 14 November , 2012 Share Posted 14 November , 2012 Cnock , just looked through this thread and found it absolutley rivetting. I was particularily taken with the pictures of Kemmel and the church tower of Wytschaete as my Grandfathers Battery ( 108 heavy battery RGA ) were according to the unit war diary ordered to knock down the chaurch tower from there position at Kemmel, but were unable to do it initially as the ammuntion they were using was ineffective... whats more I have just returned from Ypres after touring around some of the sites in your postcards, so this has given me a new perspective on the site I visited especially hill 60, 62 and snactuary woods.
