Appreciated!
Simon

Thanks Allan - he's mentioned in Stacke (not by name) in the last paragraph on Macedonia
The Balkan winter had now set in, with mist and heavy rain. Both sides settled down into winter quarters, and the ensuing weeks, so far as the 11th Worcestershire were concerned, were marked by no outstanding incident…save that on December 19th 1917, an accidental explosion of a “dud” enemy shell in a dugout caused serious loss. 1 killed, 1 died of wounds, 8 wounded...
