Am I doing this for my own bemusement? If you are reading this please do leave a comment.
Thanks

This is the blog of the Plugstreet archaeological project in Belgium. This is a Great War themed project exploring sites around Comines-Warneton and Messines. 2007 sees the first fieldwork in Belgium, and builds on investigations in the UK. The project is being led by members of No Man's Land - The European Group for Great War Archaeology and the Comines-Warneton Historical Society. The blog will include dig diaries written by various members of the team.

Hi! I'm one of your subscribers, reading your dispatches from California. You're not alone!
I am here Martin, I am putting together an historic outline of the German defenders of this location. It seems the mines hit at the junction of two regiments, the 9th Bavarians and the 5th Bavarian IR.
It seems the Ultimo mine went off just below the 12/9th Bavarian IR whose ranks included a fellow New Yorker who was listed as missing presumed killed.
I hope to have the full details and at least one map if not two shortly. Ralph
Hi Stacy and hello Ralph
Great to hear we are being read.
Ralph, the New Yorker with the Bavarians adds a fantastic new dimension to this and really underlines again the global nature of the war.
Martin - I've only just found the blog - but it looks fascinating - please keep posting.
