    Thanks Tony - I wasn't aware that your lot were so heavily engaged prior to July 1 - I thought that the Aussies and Canucks were primarily engaged once the British army had burned itself out in July and August...it always amazes me the casualty levels WWI units sustained while just soldiering on. Many men were seriousy wounded over and over. A blighty one was not always a permanent ticket home and those from the colonies had to have a real reason to be sent home.

    The bust will certainly be a family heirloom.

    Colin just reconnected with this thread.
    Did you ever finish this piece?

    My great great uncle was also killed on first day of Messines v3 at La Basseville 31 Jul 17.
    Another was wounded in May of that year, bringing home a gammy leg & memories that prevented him having a family.

    I am planning a series of tributes to them both, as you have done here.
    So keen to hear how you went about keeping their story alive & look forward to seeing final chapter :)

    Thanks for sharing "the letter " above.
