John Maddox fought in the Somme, he was raised in Peterborough, my home town, but he died in battle, he’s remembered at the Tyne cot cemetery near Ypres (Eep)
It would be nice for those of us who are unable to visit and who have a loved one's name on the wall to be able to see each panel instead of a speedy fly through. As, well a talk on the various regiments, their primary objective and the route they traveled would be informative and more educational.
But Mousie, thou art no thy-lane, In proving foresight may be vain: The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men Gang aft agley, An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain, For promis’d joy!
Not to make light of the American service personnel who died in Vietnam, but 58,000 perished there over a roughly 15 year period. Half again were *missing* from a *single* World War 1 battlefield: the Somme! And those are only the *British* missing. No wonder my 1985 "Guiness Book of World Records" lists the Somme as one of history's worst ever battles.
"We could have all been speaking German".... How uninformed school children are.. I suppose she was not only taught by a politically and historically molested education system, but was socialised by parents who were once in turn 'school' children also. So the cycle goes on....
This is about the Battle of the Somme, America hadn't even declared war at this point so why would there be anything there about the Harlem Hellfighters?

My grandfather George Morse died at the Somme and his name is on this memorial. My wish is to one day visit Thiepval
