We are extremely grateful for your very knowledgeable effort in introducing us to the Somme area and finding Gordons grave. Your narrative of the whole disaster left us in no doubt as to the waste of human life that was prevalent at that stage. One cannot but feel for the families of the young soldiers who were sacrificed. Bruce and Elizabeth Larner, Auckland, New Zealand.
