Stijn,
Amazing! I have only ever seen one copy of the book and read brief extracts. It never occurred to me that it was available on the internet.

Great website, Stijn. I have registered on your site.

I am on a tour to Flanders next month which includes a trip to see where the tank Fray Bentos stopped whist attacking Gallipoli farm, not far from Pond Farm.

Although on a coach tour I will be casting an eye in Pond Farm direction.
Keep up the good work.

Amazing! I have only ever seen one copy of the book and read brief extracts. It never occurred to me that it was available on the internet.

If you google "project gutenberg" it will lead you to many free WW1 themed books in various formats that may be used on Kindle, Kobo etc
I've been reading these freebies since March and still have plenty to go.

As well as Best-Dunkley and the 2/5th heroics in the area, on the other side of the road from Pond Farm is the area where the tank "Fray Bentos" and its crew also gave heroic service near Gallipoli Farm.
