    A really interesting item, Taff. It's amazing that pieces like that are still being discovered over a hundred years after the end of the war.

      It certainly is, Andy.
      It makes you wonder what else is still out there waiting to be rediscovered.

    I assume a master carpenter was attached to the pioneer battalion as that’s a lovely piece of craftsmanship

      Every Infantry Battalion had a Pioneer Section, Rob.
      It’s most likely that they would have made it.

    Very good. I do think however that your video descriptions aren’t descriptive. Take care. 💙💛 Slava Ukraini

    I go to college about 5 mins away from Belstead church, unfortunately it was locked when I visited it so I couldnt go inside

      It’s worth persevering. It’s a lovely Church.

      When the wooden crosses were replaced by headstones the family were offered the original wooden ones.
