I remember my late father telling me how they dug up bones from WWI on Vimy Ridge whilst laying their anti-aircraft guns before the retreat to Dunkirk. Can anyone tell me which division were on the ridge that spring.
Do you know what regiment he was in ? I could probably post the diary pages for the period they were there. Anyone know *cough* Dave?
One of the Fd Regts of 5th Div had an OP on the memorial itself & some units of 5th & 50th Divs had units in the old preserved trenches. We've mentioned it on here a few times. I havent got time for a search now. Maybe later.
