Somme related items
Chris Boonzaier replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in The Great War 1914 to 1918

I see it is.... man... i need to get one!!

1st day of the Somme, casualty on the other side of the wire... The RIR99 was at Thiepval, the 3rd company just to the south west in the Granatloch. The Highland light infantry broke into their lines and wiped out most of the company in hand to hand fighting.

Not my own work, but I thought it was worth posting..... I bet someone got his fingers rapped for this....
