"I never knew an appeal to them for honour, courage or loyalty, that they did not more than realise my highest expectations. If ever the hour of real danger should come to England, they will be found the Country's Sheet Anchor." Admiral Lord St. Vincent.

Great article!

The La Boisselle Study Group doing the dig has started a website to document the project. They will be adding more info and photos as the work progresses. I have it bookmarked ;D
