"if you knows a better 'ole then go to it"
An excellent interesting site, takes up much of my on line time. Tom has
been a great help to me, a genuine nice bloke, the site is excellent.
I am a proud member of the Western Front Association. This is their site
check it out .If you are viewing from abroad, why not join, the journal "Stand
to" is worth the membership fee on it's own. The motto is remembering, my
interpretation of this is of both sides of the wire.
John is one of my mates with many common interests. This site is dedicated to the RND and men of Barnsley predominantly. For those who have seen my article on Jack Clegg, Jack is Johns Great Uncle. There are many excellent articles especially as regards to the men not comemorated by the CWGC who really should have been.
The Commonwealth Wargraves Commission
This is the homepage of the CWGC, the respect I have for this organisation and it's work has no limit, the professionalism and standards are second to none in my opinion
This group of men have attracted a great deal of flak. I am of the belief that good battlefield archeology is now vital to our understanding of WW1, with the battlefields dissappearing under concrete, the activity of this group is commendable. Look at the evidence on the site and make up your own mind. Unusually for me I will state openly that i support these men and hope people can be broadminded enough to see the evidence before they condemn. These men are in no way connected to the numerous grave robbers that populate France.
The Belgian WW! Archeology site-A19 Project.
The extention of the A19 across the Frezenberg ridge has caused much debate in Belgium. The governement commissioned Archeologists to test areas along the route. This group produces write ups of there excavations. These projects should be supported. The last tommies are now dying off, we are now relying on archeologists to tell us what happened
This is the address for the site which you
can look up and down load attestation papers for members of the CEF.
Steve Metcalfe's
Northallerton Memorial Project
This is another good UK site from another WFA member who has researched the local memorials in his area, lot's of lessons to be learnt here. Well worth a look especially if you are going to look up your local memorial
Mike Rodens website- I'm pleased to report another British site.
It's new and constantly expanding. I liked what I have seen so far so check
it out and lend Mike your support.
The Public Records Office
I keep refering to the PRO in many of my articles, the link is here,
Varlet Farm- This is a great location just outside Ypres. FOr those with an interest in the R.N.Division, Varlet farm was an objective of the RND and was taken 26th Oct 1917. Its a great location, on for me a historic site.
SWAVENSEY IN THE GREAT WARThis
is Phil Curmes site. It goes into detail about the men of this tiny hamlet that
died in the Great War. I can relate to this as I have looked at the Kent equivalents.
Michael Duffy's WW1 site-
Michael contacted me to set
up a link. When I looked at his site, wow a joy to behold, all thse school kids
who have homework should look here!!!
This
page is a UK one, dedicated to preserving our WW1 memorials many of which are
disappearing, or becoming decrepid. Please look and support.
Woodside guest house- This is a guest house near Brugge. Excellent placement if you wish to visit FLanders, close enough to the Western ront to perform an easy day trip, close to lovely Brugge and Brussels is an hour by train away. Run by and English /Belgian couple, you can be sure of a warm welcome
Jonathan Collins
Jonathan has got a website, I have listed him as a reliable researcher in the
British archives. Many have asked me for help in finding lost relatives, here
is the man who can, also with new papers available, ever fancied getting the
service papers of a famous officer, Sassoon or Owen???
The official website of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, this is a very polished PR site telling us more about the modern Royal Navy and Marines
