Hawthorn Ridge crater

  • 11 April 2018

I am delighted to say that this important historical site has now been secured by a consortium led by Andy Robertshaw and the village of Beaumont Hamel. I know they will do a superb job in both preserving and researching the Crater and its significant role in the opening stages of the Somme battle. Well done, all. (By Richard Dunning)
