Digging in the yard?
Imagine being a kid, just digging in the back yard at your new house and finding a WWI trench site? It almost happened but for a few faithful and some crowd funding (good thing it wasn't our Kick-Starter) . . . History is everywhere you look!

Wow - interesting read & the type of history you don't get in New Zealand...
Thanks Clipper.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting!
Great to see this happening.
Cool find. Thanks.
interesting. wish i could find such history in my backyard.
Ohio is chock full of interesting history, even aviation history! My grandfather lived adjacent to the Huffman prairie, (now site of Wright-Patterson, Ohio.) Many of the Haughts are buried there. The field was used by the Wright's, he used to watch them fly as a kid there. Later as an ambulance driver on the front in WWI he daily pulled pilots out of wrecks. He never got over the danger of airplanes until the day I was born . . .

I'm just as happy not to find the occasional unexploded bomb or cache of gas shells in my back garden

Fascinating stuff.
Thanks for posting it, David.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Just ordered a t-shirt to support the cause . . .
