So here is the latest version of the british jumping off trenches, sandbags removed as the only parapet shown in contemporary photos is made of chalk spoil from the trenches themselves (yet to be painted). I have done my best to show dirty calk in the trench floor, and thrown up by German counter shelling

This is an aerial photo taken shortly before the attacks began in September 1915

Having spoken to the museum curator, it is agreed that this diorama should depict as best as I am able, the battle at the Hohenzollern Redoubt, 13th October 1915 during which, elements of the 46th (North Midland) Division were involved. Specificaly the Leicestershire Regiment 1/5th battalion and 1/4th battlion, 138th (Lincoln and Leicester) Brigade.
Several men from my village were members of the Leicesters, and were killed during their assault.

Not sure how this blog thing works, bit of an experiment really.
In response to blackronin I will be posting the progress of the museum project here, as well as the current shapeways aircraft in progress.
