For any Great War Nerds who are into their prog rock.
The grandfather of Roger Waters. 256 Tunnelling Company RE.
Honoured to have worked on the restoration of these two private memorials with @westernfrontservices. If anyone on the Somme on 22 July, here are details.

In bitter safety I awake, unfriended;
And while the dawn begins with slashing rain
I think of the Battalion in the mud.
“When are you going out to them again?
Are they not still your brothers through our blood?”
Well, they went out again at 0545 on the Ancre 13/11/1916 1/
That's a shame 😢
