I've started filling in the nominal roll page and could use some help! Send me an updated bio in the format that I've put on line. It doesn't have to be perfect. We can always make changes as we go along. I've got more than a thousand names so it will take some time to roll them all out (and I'm sure that I've missed at least thousands more!) Your favourite picture of yourself in uniform would also be helpful. Send that to [email protected] 5th Siege Battery At 10.a.m. we fired 5 minutes rapid on Les Tilleuls Cross roads in S11a 90.88 without observation and at Noon fired 12 Rounds on Crater D62 to check error of day.
