@PaulCapewell4 @militaryhistori @Books2Cover @WeHaveWaysPod Lt Gen the Earl of Cavan seems to have found someone shorter than himself🤣🤣🤣 Given that the picture was taken at Grenezza, and is within easy range of the Austrian guns, good to see he has opted for his SD hat rather than a ‘battle bowler’.

@sommecourt Capt Ivor Stewart-Liberty, of the Liberty department store dynasty, lost a leg at Fromelles, serving with 2/1st Bucks Battalion. Most of the other battalion officers were wounded or killed attacking the Sugar Loaf salient.

@sommecourt @OldFrontLinePod Sheer luck. I am researching the fighting at Asiago and Youll was one of two VCs won there on 15 June 18. The other was Lt Col Charles E Hudson, 11 Sherwood For.
Youll is buried at Giavera Mil Cem, near the Piave River.
