@@mama_b_7525 Just had to ask the 5th Norfolk's to heavy losses at Gallipoli and later at Gaza. If you are looking for more about his war record have you tried contacting the Suffolk regiment museum they might be able to find something for you.
I enjoy all your offerings, thank you. Just by the way Ypres is pronounced "Eepre" no s on the end... the old guys said it "wipers" and gaol is pronounced the same way as jail ... Friesland is pronounced "freeze-land" not "fries-land".
A.very detailed video, and well discovered illustrations. Most interesting.
Thanks for this. To think my grannys family lived around the area at this time, and her dad was in the territorial army at this time too!

I love Winston Churchill comments and the comments about breakfasts being just started. Very interesting and get photos and drawings.
An interesting story, Thank you.
