I havn't been on here for a while.�But still check in often.
I have just returned from a trip to Flers, where I whent on a bit of a tank hunt.
We trudged across a muddy field to where we worked out that D6 was hit.
And right there were 2 large pieces of metal.
One looked like the rim of a tail wheel. And this is the other. Sort of girder but with bolts all along one side (so must of come off of a machine/ tank) Any ideas?
It was burried in the mud with one end poking out and Im cleaning it, along with a Spud from Cambrai.
Here are some photos of the underside of my Spuds.
I have a clean one that I bought a while ago in Ypres.
I havn't found any stamps yet. But there is stil lots of hard mud and rust to get through.� So Im still hopeful
The other bits are from Flers. I was wondering if the long bit I found with all the bolts. may have come from the D6 Tail Wheels?
We also found where D17 Dinnaken ditched. By a large dip (which is still there)�� found some armour plate and bolts there, sticking out of the ground.�
