iainmac Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Great listening to that. As well as our own club Donald Bell VC, who played for Bradford PA, gets a mention. He is buried alongside some of the Hearts lads in Gordon's Dump Cemetry but he fell attacking a machine gun post in Contalmaison. 14 of us visited Bell's Redoubt on Remembrance Sunday - it's literally round the corner from our own Contalmaison Cairn.
