I wonder if this belongs in here in the Naval forum ............ ?? The (63rd) Royal Naval Division The Royal Naval Division was a remarkable division in the British Armed Forces during the First World War. Originating in the Royal Navy, and manned by sailors and marines, the division was incorporated into the Army in 1916. Illustrious figures served in it, such as the poet Rupert Brooke, Bernard Freyberg (the future governor-general of New Zealand) and the author and later parliamentarian Alan Herbert, but also Edwin Dyett, later executed for cowardice. Two locations along the Western Front feature monuments to the division, and the one at Gavrelle, near Arras, is as extra-ordinary as the division was. http://www.wereldoorlog1418.nl/RND-Royal-Naval-Division/index.html http://www.royalnavaldivision.co.uk/THE ROYAL MARINES AT THE GAVRELLE WINDMILL.pdf
