WW1 Ypres - Polygon Wood - 14th MGC - Stuart Curry
Walking in the footsteps of my Grandfathers 2008. WW1, The Great War, Western Front, Belgium. During the Battle of Polygon Wood 26th September 1917 My Grandfathers brother Stan Hastings Marchment was killed with four others in the 14th MGC when a German Shell came in and got all four of them when they were setting up the Vickers Machine Gun. Johan Vandewalle was kind enough to get permission from the local farmer to let us walk on his property at Glencourse Wood & Nonne Bosschen. From the Machine Gun possitions at Westhoek Ridge (Battle of Menin Road) to the Bunkers located in Nonne Bosschen and finally the Horse Cemetery near Clapham Junction Johan is a very kind man for helping me. The Australian 5th Division Memorial and his Cafe Anzac Rest all within Polygon Wood. I could not think of a better man to look after the Austalian's interests who fought in this area during WW1.

Battle of Polygon Wood - Betrayal At The Italian Front I THE GREAT WAR Week 166
The British and Australian forces under Sir Herbert Plumer continue to advance at Passchendaele. Plumer's new tactic comes with a high price in men and material but it also gets results. German flying ace Werner Voss fights his last legendary fight and on the Italian Front, some Austro-Hungarian officers want to end the war sooner than later - and not in their countries' favour.
