A new year with much to do...

We still have two pages as yet undeveloped, The Dieppe Raid and HMS Forward from our Newhaven Defences pages; we hope to complete the Dieppe Raid very soon when the weather is condusive to photography again for the taking our then and now photos in Dieppe. HMS Forward still requires further research from Newhaven Local Museum.
On a different note we are planning to upgrade this site in the spring to allow us to post both audio and video media into our pages and perhaps run a newsletter. The video options alone would allow us to post short movie documentaries which often convey a greater ammount of emersive material per data package than multiple still photos do.
The big event this year will be the Centenary of Passchendaele on the western front and no doubt there will be much written about this in the coming months; it was a terrible prolonged battle in the horrendous muddy conditions that came to personify the Great War.
Finally our thanks to Ed Tyhurst who contacted us about errors in our article on the Lunette Battery in Newhaven, he has been most generous in allowing us to use material created by himself on those pages and has also furnished us with further plans of the site. We have temporarily pulled the page to undergo re formatting and to add additional material to it along with over due credit to all of Ed Tyhurst's work. The page will be refreshed and reloaded in the coming weeks.    Steve
