Peter Le Duc Posted 3 January , 2019 Share Posted 3 January , 2019 Dear Cnock, Thank you so much for posting these photographs. It’s incredible to see so many of the places mentioned in my Grandfather’s unit war diaries and the complete and utter desolation. It’s impossible to fully comprehend the suffering these men went through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mebu Posted 3 January , 2019 Share Posted 3 January , 2019 (edited) great pictures, keep them coming. One correction: The OP in post 435 is not St Julien (German area) but St Jean (British area). Also appeared in a different photo card. The Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers record taking this over after the RA had started it and completing the structure. I have the details tucked away somewhere. Peter PS just checked: the OP was known as Hasler House (which is marked on many trench maps in square C27d in St Jean) the RMRE took it over from Battery 93 on 11/7/16, found 10 infantry asleep there..

Cnock Posted 3 January , 2019 Author Share Posted 3 January , 2019 Hello Pete, You are absolutely right about the OP at St. jean, there was one at St. Julien too, but different in shape, must have a picture somewhere Eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
