The arrival of a heavy thunderstorm produced a lull in the almost relentless bombardment from the Enemy positions less than half a mile away.

High Explosive & Very high static in the Atmosphere didn’t go well together. For an early September day in 1916 in the Western Front, and after a very dry period where the fields had turned from mud to dust the clear atmosphere was a welcome relief.

"The palace is probably the safest place around, surely?" Yeah, right. As the night's events begin to unfold it soon becomes clear that nobody in the palace is going to get much sleep...
