| Longstop Hill
Hi Gerry,
Just seen this post and remember that a veteran
of the 78th Division had given me a copy of a
BBC broadcast Titled "Battle Honours" "The 78th
Division" In this broadcast there is a little bit that
I thought you'd like
"And Longstop Hill fell...not because of tanks or guns
....not because of the terrific Artillery barrage which
I watched creeping up the slope of the Hill... No, it fell
because a few hundred men with rifle and bayonet forced
its surrender...because they charged up those death-
swept slopes not once - but four times."
Gerry this BBC broadcast is 3 pages in total if you would
like a copy for your records send me a e mail.
Cheers
Kieron
