This blog is my conceit to post items that interest me, and may be of interest to others, related to the Great War of 1914-18. They are referred to as “Fragments” and the items I hope to cover, in no particular order, will include,
1. The History of the Trench Warfare Department 1914-1918.
2. Extemporised trench warfare munitions employd by the troops of the British Empire and the French and German armies in all theatres, 1914-1916.
3. The Indian Corps and the development of trench warfare munitions 1914-15.
4. Soldiers buried or commemorates in the cemeterys of Newcastle under Lyme Staffordshire.
5. Miscellaneous and unusual war memorials and other forms of commemoration.
6. Women commemorated on war memorials.
7. The Cornish tin miners of St Agnes who became members of the Tunnelling Companies.
