Exactly 100 years ago today my Father Captain John H F Ludgate was badly wounded leading his men in the Battle of The Somme where they were trying trying to take the Butte de Warlencourt. Luckily he survived but his intended carrer as an artist was never to happen although he did produce some really fine drypoint etchings which I am displaying in my gallery in Chagford.
