Oh my goodness Biker!

I'm imagining men absolutely exhausted - and being punished for it!

My heart goes out to them!

Hi Annie

I know what you mean, I don't think we can comprehend how hard it was really, some of the stories are indeed heartbreaking.  One of my lot was also found on it, also for sleeping - no wonder !!

They were serving their country and doing their best under extreme conditions - so big respect to all.

Cheers
Biker

Hi ele

Can't see anything for McGurk.  The only McQuade is a John of the 18 Highland Light Infantry 4th Glasgow (Bantam) Batalion.  If you'd like the information on John, let me know.
