Cols Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Algy I made it to the talk as well. I'm the one who came in 5 minutes late. Interesting it was too. Thanks for letting me know about it. One thing that I'm a bit quizzical about was that the speakers were saying they were not sure what the earthworks were before they started investigating. I would have thought that the fact that the place is called "Hill 60" was clue enough to tell them it had a WW1 connection. I must go exploring over there now that the weather is improving.

algy Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Hi Cols, glad you thought it worthwhile. I wish there'd been a bit more archaeology and a bit less emotional excerpts, but that's me. I take your point about Hill 60. The only thing I can think is I don't think it's marked as Hill60 on the map, and the people leading the investigation weren't aware of the Pals history when they started. Anyhow, happy hunting!

EllieDot Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Many thanks for that information, Mrs Murdoch was my great aunty. Nice to put some detail to the family story. Mrs Murdoch was my Grandma so we must be related. I saw your post when checking the date of the crash with my cousin on Saturday. We were both spooked as we do not know who you are. I am Elaine Maxon daughter of Jean Elsie Maxon nee Murdoch. My cousin is Lisa Murdoch daughter of Ronald Murdoch my Mum's brother. It would be great to find out who you are before I return to Portugal in early November. ---------- Post added 24-10-2017 at 19:51 ---------- I hope you have seen my reply.
