The trenches can still be clearly followed in the wood, and I believe that the old German positions there are to be op
No, this is with my back facing the higher, north sector of Beaumont-Hamel village (I'm standing on what was a German backstop machine-gun position and strongpoint) looking across the German lines towards the British lines.
Understood, thanks, think my memory is playing up!
My memory has spent my whole life playing up!
And you seem to have either found a colour mode or some colour film!!!
What lies under that cover?....I'm guessing its electrical and the numerical values, written in pink, relate.
