    This is exactly the kind of content I was looking for; it is as brilliantly narrated as it is captivating - looking forward to your next project sir! :)

    Chris, your original content and production has gotten so much better over the years. This is some of your finest work. It is on a subject that I don't know much about, which makes it all the more engaging. Keep up the great work.

    Amazing work thank you. Have been to Wipers a few times now. Went to St George chapel with my son a serving soldier. Last time was there was December with my other son. It’s a wonderful place. A place my Grandfather would have know as he served here. Would have marched out the Menin gate to the battle of Bellewaerde. My Grandmothers first husband lies in Bedford house cemetery. Lest we forget.

    Leaving a town in a destroyed state sounds like a good idea at the time, but isn’t so easy to execute. USAF has battle damage from 7 Dec 1941 at Hickam AFB (or whatever it is called now) that they try to preserve, but it wants to fall further apart over time. So you try to ‘repair’ it back to its damaged state. Easier said than done. The way France has commemorated the destroyed villages north of Verdun, with markers indicating what was once there it perhaps the way to go.

    How about investigating The Crucified Soldier? Fact, fiction, or somewhere in between?
