Brian - brilliant stuff. Reading this took me back twenty years when I used to speak with veterans of the Great War; what they told me then I have never forgotten, and their memories of that war formed the basis of my knowledge of WW1. The war from the average soldiers point of view is so important - and so easily lost. What you've written has been fascinating for me, and rest assured that what you tell us helps us begin to understand, and will ensure that those of us here will never forget the men of your generation. So thank you for sharing all this with us.

And Otto - excellent questions and well done for making this available.
