Please let's spare a thought today for all those soldiers who died exactly 100 years ago today. The media seemed to have largely forgotten this momentous day when Germany launched their spring offensive along many miles of the western front in France at 4am on 21st March 1918. Thousands of soldiers on both sides were lost.
My Grandfather Harold Aaron Priestley was serving with the 2nd 6th South Staffordshire Regiment. He was just to the east of the village of Bullecourt in France occupying a section of the Hindenburg Line having been moved there 2 days previously on the 19th March. T
