In Wijtschate’s Hospicestraat in 2020, the most impressive discovery was a series of stairs leading to a German dugout, the Kortestollen. While maps indicated this system was near the road, its exact location and extent had remained unknown until our excavation.

An aerial view of Remy Sidings, a group of Casualty Clearing Stations which made history, both military and scientific. Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery is witness of more than four years of violent warfare in the Ypres Salient #WW1 #History

A very clear picture of Hawthorn Redoubt

The archaeological features we uncovered in Messines in 2012 were exceptional. However, what has stayed with me the most was the discovery of the mortal remains of a missing soldier. It turned out to be a defining moment in the course of my professional journey, a focus I still maintain to this day.

Very poignant remembrance ceremony at the Hawthorn Craters in memory of the men of ALL nations who fought and died across the battlefields of Hawthorn Ridge & Beaumont Hamel

Page from my photo album, c.1996. A granite demarcation stone in the Ypres Salient. ‘Here the invader was brought to a standstill 1918’

Another 1981 snapshot of Newfoundland Memorial Park, Beaumont Hamel, Somme. These are the German front line wire pickets. I think they'd not long removed the barbed wire because the sheep were getting caught on it.

We always love a trench sign

Leutnant Baensch of the German Field Artillery Regiment No.4 strikes an impressive pose in a trench near La Basseé, 1916. The pistol appears to be some kind of pocket pistol but it's hard to tell the exact model. Small pistols like these were often privately purchased.

The legendary ruined basilica of Albert on the Somme used to advertise government bonds on a 1921 poster. The basilica and the leaning golden statue of the Virgin were famous during the war but had been destroyed in 1918. Source: gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/b...

On this day in 1918, John McCrae died of pneumonia. Born in Guelph in 1872, he served as a soldier and surgeon during the First World War. After his friend, Lt. Alexis Helmer, was killed at the Second Battle of Ypres, McCrae wrote In Flanders Field.

I found this German helmet on the Somme in the early 1980s when I was 17. It was lying at the bottom of a mine crater at Carnoy, in the former no man’s land, where a farmer must have flung it after his plough dragged it up. The craters are long-since filled in.
