@nisbet62 @penswordbooks @penswordpub That's wonderful, Ian. Thank you so much for taking the time to message. I'm delighted you found it useful. I have been fortunate to meet Chris (and his history department contemporaries) on a few occasions and it's an honour to keep the flag flying for Pock history!

@TheHistoryMan @penswordbooks @penswordpub I was given a copy for my trip to Normandy next week and was delighted to see you are at Pocklington. Good read/prep for the trip, thanks.I was at Pock 1971-80 and went on to read History at uni. Had lunch with my Dolman housemaster today, Chris Solomon, fellow Pock historian!

Today is the Anniversary of the Battle of Arras in 1917 which included the Canadian Corps assault on Vimy Ridge. The Vimy Memorial is one of the most impressive on the Western Front and I never tire in trying to capture its beauty and sadness.
