In Wijtschate’s Hospicestraat in 2020, the most impressive discovery was a series of stairs leading to a German dugout, the Kortestollen. While maps indicated this system was near the road, its exact location and extent had remained unknown until our excavation.

I use my Linesman out on tour and it really is a fantastic bit of equipment. Makes orientation and understanding of the ground during the war so much easier and helps both old and new visitors in visualising how trench systems used the topography to have advantageous positions.

Pilckem Ridge 2013. In addition to well-developed trenches, less elaborate ones were also found. Some (first 2 photos) from the early months of trench warfare. The others (last 2 photos) were more temporary and served for troop supply for the July 31, 1917 attack.

The archaeological features we uncovered in Messines in 2012 were exceptional. However, what has stayed with me the most was the discovery of the mortal remains of a missing soldier. It turned out to be a defining moment in the course of my professional journey, a focus I still maintain to this day.

Another 1981 snapshot of Newfoundland Memorial Park, Beaumont Hamel, Somme. These are the German front line wire pickets. I think they'd not long removed the barbed wire because the sheep were getting caught on it.
