Friends who know I often travel to the Somme ask why I go and what is there to see. I think it is the scale of sacrifice that draws me to the Somme and I wish to pay my respects by placing crosses for myself and other people who cannot make it overseas. Most fighting took place in trenches out in the middle of large fields below are some items found in the last two years brought to the surface by the farmers plough. The first is a spoon issued to a British soldier. The second is a shirt button from a British uniform and the third is an unexploded 'mills bomb' or hand grenade in modern language. This is followed by an unexploded Artillery shell and a British uniform buckle.
