You can pick up more things the second time you read a book after a gap of twenty years. This reflects the time that you have studied a particular topic. The subject area for me is my four uncles in World War One. Stephen and Andrew Tognolini both veterans of Gallipoli. Stephen in the 21st Battalion, and Andrew in the 24th Battalion. On the Western Front in France and Belgium, they would be joined by their brothers John/Jack Tognolini in the 57th Battalion and Henry Phillips in the 60th Battalion. The book is To The Last Ridge by Walter Hubert Downing, Military Medal, Sergeant in the 57th Battalion, in his book he has a Roll of Honour of the 57th's War Dead that includes John/Jack Tognolini, Military Medal, Killed In Action on the Fourth Anzac Day 25-4-1918 at Villers-Bretonneux, France. Downing AKA Jimmy and John/Jack were awarded their Military Medals at Polygon Wood during the 57th's involvement in the Battle of Passchendaele later in 1917. The knowledge I have picked up since I first read To The Last Ridge is that I know instinctively that an Australian Battalion is a thousand soldiers, battalions were formed into brigades of four battalions, and then divisions of five brigades. So Stephen's 21st Battalion and Andrew's 24th Battalion were part of the 6th Brigade along with the 22nd and 23 Battalions. They were in the 2 Division. John/Jack & Jimmy's 57th Battalion and Henry's 60th Battalion were part of the 15th Brigade along with the 58th and 59th Battalions. They were in the 5th Division. So I reread these words from the Last Ridge it affected me. ‘Against the black horror of bitter sacrifice that was Bullecourt, a thousand gallant deeds comes fourth. One could speak of the 2nd Division, which repulsed eighteen attacks in 24-hours,- of the 6th Brigade, which, though surrounded and with three quarters of its number wounded or killed, fought back for hours until all the Germans lay dead in heaps….’ Jimmy points out an Australian battalion after Pozieres, Mouquet Farm and Fromelles was at Bullecourt ‘600 in number.’

We are doing the same thing. We are here to relax and fix our house

Oh my god my house

We are there right now I went on mt noorat 3 times

1:10:44 These men, by my search, received VCs. In that case, they seemed to have missed (as I am a New Zealander) VC Donald Brown 1916 after action High Wood. Maybe because it was gazetted in 1917, don't know. Great job with this, I really value it. It sure is an amazing and important place to visit.

Damn bro i played this in battlefield

3 Great videos Steve im heading back to Albert in November after my first visit in May,given me a few tips as to where things are in relation to each other.

There are so many more cemetery's here in Ypres area.

Hello steve. I also made a documentary about it. I was also able to interview someone who was in Breendonk. My film is in Dutch.😉 studio.ua-cam.com/users/videoeN02GWxTPNw/edit

Please hear this message people! This shit is real. We need to respect and care for our much valued and appreciated veterans 😭🙏❤️🙌

Ive watched numerous videos and this is the first time I’ve heard of this concentration camp. Very well documented. Thank you

imagine the sound of those cars going by around the 1:35 point in this video yet louder but not fadeing away un relenting lasting 24 hours a day for appx 1 week straight that might give you a somewhat understanding of the sound of the somme barrage before it precisivly ended at the moment to go over the top

Thankyou so much for sharing this video, we are very grateful.

My gg uncle killed there 12th of May. James Duncan. Lest we forget.

Marvelous 💖

Great Steve as ever .

Moose!! Caribou

This is what they need to show the next generations so that they don't forget and learn from the past. Instead of white washing it

Hi Steve, another great vlog mate. I, like you, found it very emotional to watch on youtube, so can't think how bad it must've been for you in situ. Hope you had a few beers afterwards mate.

Well done mate.

Not St paul's bay but Salina.

Great shots Steve, thank you

Cool

Thanks for posting.

Nice song, great to hear 👌🏽

Awesome. Thanks!

One of my family fell in the village on July 24, 1917, I've been there before and visited him in Langemark! Something like this must never be possible again! We are Friends at Facebook!
