From the other side of the wire

100 years on from the training and works of the Horse Isolation Hospital, and the research by the team into finding its location has been reported in Germany. In Der Spiegel no less! Huge thanks to Angelika for writing this - some 4 years after she reported on the discovery of Pte Alan James Mather of the 33rd Btn AIF (whose remains were recovered by No-Mans-Land Archaeology in 2008). Alan briefly lived opposite the garrison church in Larkhill prior to his deployment and subsequent death at Messines in 1917.
