ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

S PECIAL THANKS are always due to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, and Public Record Office/National Archives for the cooperation and assistance of their staffs and more so now with their respective approaches to the internet. Life is certainly easier for the researcher with the continual development of their web sites.

Gratitude is extended to Mary Ellen Freeman and Nick Fear Mary for the 2nd-Lieutenants Keith Rae and Raymond Lodge contribution and Nick for his account on the late Jack (John) Davis, 6th DCLI, to whom this book is dedicated. Mary also contributed much to the Lieut.-Col. J. Maxwell and Jack Davis account, while Wilf Schofield deserves a medal for his help with a multitude of research projects.

Thanks to Alex Kallis of Oberstenfeld, Germany for his contribution in identifying German unit histories and maps and for providing detail on participants of the 126 Infanterie Regiment at Hooge on 30 July, of which his great grandfather, Josef Singer, was one. Thanks also to Keith Raes family for their cooperation and contribution.

Gratitude is offered to Mrs Margaret Wilmington of New South Wales, Australia who gave permission to quote from her book, Diaries of an Unsung Hero , a tribute to her Uncle L/Cpl A. R. M. Stewart, who died of wounds at Ypres in 1917 with the 17th Battalion A.I.F. Likewise to Willy Mohan who assisted with the story of the McDonnell brothers from Dublin who fell together with the 2nd Battalion Royal Irish Fusiliers at the Second Battle of Ypres in 1915, and a sincere acknowledgement to Walter Kudlick from Massachusetts, USA for supplying Harvard University Records of American Merrill Wainwright who died at Passchendaele in 1917, his war lasting only three days.

We are deeply grateful to Mr Barry Woodroffe who gave unlimited access to information and documentation from his familys archives a gesture which has brought to the fore invaluable intelligence regarding the German Armys first use of liquid fire at Hooge in 1915. This archive is currently being processed for its eventual destination as a recorded archive for public access.

The information featured in the Keith Rae cameo in this book, together with the aforementioned archive and recently researched detail of the German perspective of the attack, will form the basis for a volume currently being manuscripted by Mary Ellen Freeman, something to look forward to.

Last, but certainly not least, the inhabitants of Ypres and its surrounding villages deserve a vote of thanks. The patience they show to the hundreds of visitors, coach-loads and otherwise passing through their villages and often walking across their land, beggars belief. It makes you wonder why they put up with it, but they do!
