Great blog - I'...Really glad I found this post.<br /><br />Great blog - I'm currently writing a story based on my Great Grandad's diary. I was inspired to do it after he made an entry in his diary the day before the explosion. <br /><br />He said 'Transferred to 256 Brigade. Something big is going to happen.'<br /><br />Amazing to think that a relative of mine was there!<br /><br />I've tried to do so much research but can find so little of him even at National Archives...intriguing!!<br /><br />Thanks again for the post and your brilliant blog!<br /><br />Neil<br />http://pinpoint77.blogspot.co.ukNeil Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094796039326430540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636059.post-22026182536282848382007-07-27T15:36:00.000+01:002007-07-27T15:36:00.000+01:00My grandfather served in WWI.

For wider understanding of this event and trench war fare in general, I suggest watching <A HREF="http://www.google.com/search?q=%22digging+up+the+trenches%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a" REL="nofollow">this show</A>latogahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194824532408285871noreply@blogger.com
