    Very emotional, both my Great Grandfathers fought in WW1 one at Gallipoli and then the Western Front as a "tunneller". The other joined days after his brother died at Laundrecies August 1914. He was sent to Ypres and rushed green to the front where the Germans were threatening to break the stalemate. April 1915 was the day they unleashed gas for the first time. Men ran in panic

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.
    We are the Dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie
    In Flanders fields.
    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
    In Flanders fields.

    I’ve seen the real Deborah tank, and talked with Phillippe at his museum in Flesquiiere in France, he dug it out of the mud along with everything else he has on display there. I also stayed at his hotel Beattus in Cambrai where I discovered his book ‘Following the Tanks’ which documented his finding and recovery of Deborah. His museum is filled with artefacts from the battlefield that his museum sits on, seeing it up-close in person makes it very real.
    My great grandfather Walter Stacey was an infantryman with the 7th battalion, Somerset Light Infantry. At 6:20am on 20th November 1917, he began following the tanks into battle at Cambrai. After the Germans counter-attacked his position outside Masniere on the 30th November, Walter was unaccounted for and his body was never found. He is one of 7048 British soldiers reported Missing in Action at Cambrai. Over 45000 men were killed on each side.
    After more than a year of research I travelled in 2008 from Australia and walked the battlefield where Walter and his battalion had fought, and finally to the site where he was most likely killed. There, I collected some battlefield soil and returned his spirit home to England.
    Their name liveth forevermore.
