Bit thin on the German side but there aren't many sources for them

B now but only because I've exhausted the exiguous number of sources.

Only Passchendaele Ridge to go and then I can rewrite all the 3rd Ypres articles in time for 31 July....

It's a B now but I need Denman's book on the 16th (Irish) Division to do it justice.

Still procrastinating over The Night action of 1/2 December 1917, Lo Cicero's PhD is quite poorly written and laid out despite the wealth of detail, which is quite off-putting but I'll have to man it out to finish it before 31 July. I'm serving a 36 hour ban from editing after falling foul of a caucus cum cabal that censors edits on current events which show some independence from the corp-0-rat media line. Considering that I've been editing since 2006, I'm surprised that It's taken this long.
Re: Poelcappelle 9 Oct 17
Hmmmm, back in the game.
Re: Poelcappelle 9 Oct 17
Well, sort of; after a rest I'm going back to the Passchendaele Ridge article to have it done by 31 July.

Not finished because Lo Cicero's prose in his PhD is a bit shite and I'm still ploughing through it.

B despite having to scrape around for some of the details on training and organisation.

Doing the 22 August one now. I've been under the impression that the second half of August is unjustly underwritten for a few years but there are only short pieces in the literature and the odd allusion elsewhere, [i]Der Weltkrieg[/i] seems a dead loss too. If anyone has suggestions I'm agog. I hope [i]The Passchendaele Campaign 1917[/i] by Andrew Rawson is better than [i]Passchendaele: A New History[/i] by Nick Lloyd which was a monumental disappointment. I want to get done what can be done by 31 July though.
