 The Australian Memorial Park at Fromelles, Northern France. Photo - Brian Harris © 2009 UP TO 400 British and Australian soldiers who were killed during the Battle of Fromelles in July 1916 and buried by the Germans in mass graves, are to be exhumed from their recently-discovered burial pits and re-interred in individual graves in a purpose-built cemetery. The gruesome find was made in June 2008 by a team of archaeologists from Glasgow University working in northern France for the Australian Government, British MOD and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

We have recently recorded our 1 millionth viewer – a magnificent return for the site that was launched just over one year ago in the north east of England.

Who knows? It is always possible that young Tommy Brown might have watched as a brand new warship, fresh off the slipway at Vickers Armstrong, slipped quietly out of the Tyne on its maiden voyage.  HMS Petard - Photograph: Royal Navy Archives The year was 1941 and the 15-year-old from North Shields was anxious, like a lot others, to do his bit for his country; so anxious that he lied about his age and managed to talk his way into a job with the NAAFI. HMS Petard, a 1,540 ton destroyer, must have been a stirring sight as it made its way down river, ready for its commissioning exercises and a visit to South Africa before steaming to the Mediterranean for active service…and a place in history. Within a year Tommy would also be on active service as a canteen assistant aboard the same vessel, HMS Petard, and destined to become part of a remarkable story that would change the course of the Second World War.
