  1. Holy hell man. Glad to see you are still among the living. Avoid Covid and stay with us.
  2. Is there an NTC Scenario? Can one be made? Asking for a friend.
  3. Great picture?? Did you click the link? There are MANY great pictures
  4. I'm still trying to figure out how he did the hand and arm trick...
  5. ??? Not sure what you are on about with this statement? Linky (or more info) please.
  6. ??? What kind of ignorant statement is that?
  7. Here is the 1st Bn's War Diary entry for 20 August 1918: On 19th August the Battalion sent patrols out and established a line 150 yds west of Paradis road, and at 1.30 pm a further advance was made east of the road. On 20th the line was again advanced another 900 yds but the enemy's resistence was stiffening and casualties became quite heavy. Orders were given for the Battalion to dig in. On the evening of the 20th the Battalion was relieved and went into support. Received from a bloke named Martin over on the Great War 1914-1918 forum. http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=154009&st=0&gopid=1484206entry1484206 Note: This places the 1st Bn approx midway between Bethune and Lestrem to the NE.

  9. Oh my god yes..absolutely!! Stunning actually... with correspondence from the living relatives no less!! This is friggin HUGE!! Makes me want to visit and see James Berry's marker. Affen, I recommend you get hold of the regimental history. You never know, James Berry might just be listed and/or named in there. Perhaps there is a photo of him out there somewhere as well. I'll keep an ear to the ground and an eye open. Fantastic stuff this. The one thing I was thinking though was damn..what a shame...he was KIA less than three months from 11/11/18...
