I visited in 1991 with an old WW1 veteran, George, who was my family neighbour. A wonderful visit.

I'm an armed forces veteran who was in the Royal Anglians as a Company Signaller Std 1 sometimes two steps behind the OC with a radio on my back, come from a military family my 4 x Great Uncle Thomas was in the Royal Horse Artillery as a Driver/Gunner at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 and survived. Grandad was in the great war and survived served in the Leicestershire Regiment and was an 'old contemptable'. Many more of my family were in other conflicts and we lost nobody unlike most families. Plan to visit where my Grandad fought and all the other sites this year and next.

Good stuff. I was last there Aug 2018, mind blowing! I got a lovely photo the sunset with the cross, my tribute to All Quiet on the western front. My Grandad was there, later gassed by Gerry. Sent back to was KIA 1 Sept 1918. Found him 1 Sept 2018 at Achiet-Le-Grand.. Richard Green SHown as R G Green Driver 10374 "A" Bty. 15th Bde., Royal Field Artillery. Thanks for the good film, I HOPE to back back in France soon. PS: My dad was called up 1 Sept 1939, having never saw his dad. He was a Desert Rat!

Another great video Rob!

Really impressive site, Sander captured my played reaction, but my first reaction was close to that haha, really jawdropping location.

Nice job of capturing the story. I wish you were our guide on our last visit. Thanks

I saw it last week on the 26/06/24 , It's surreal to see.

we went there about twenty years ago, quite a moving site, more so whenyou think it's not as deep now, a few years ago our family put a plaque there for my grandad who seved there, very moving to me even now

I bet a lot of best friends were lost this day. On both sides.

Hi Rob, how are you? That is a huge crater. Oh man. That is the biggest crater that I've seen in a WWI-related video. The aerial/map view is incredible. Wow. You did a great job in discussing the difficulties and situation the troops (and strategies they used) faced while digging - especially while they dug in silence. Very helpful plaque and map. Chris gave a good overview too. I don't think I knew that they were professional football players. I need to check out Chris' Stories of the Great War channel more. They've done a wonderful job at making it a nice area. The flowers and boards are great. The memorial is great. I want to visit the crater and would definitely read the information boards. True that women's contributions to the war are forgotten often. The memorial is beautiful and invaluable. Sad how Roy and William had to bury their friend at the bottom of the Crater :(. Good video, Rob! Kudos. Have a great Friday :)!

I was there in April. Another Great informative video thank you for these.

Good video thank you
