Battle of Cambrai 1917
Author: Graham Day
For many years I have had an interest in military and local history, the other interest I have had since the 1990s has been creating and designing websites using HTML, CSS, and more recently WordPress. Over the years I have tied both of these interests together by creating webistes with history based content.
The historical data has been obtained, researched, and gathered from numerous locations, such as libraries, archives, online sources etc. Easy-to-read articles have been created for publication on history based websites for the public of all ages to enjoy.
The journey continues in finding more historical content, bringing the past to present times.
