Pte. Michael Little

from:Stockport
(d.18th Feb 1917)
Michael Little was my great-grandfather who died of wounds during WW1. The battle, where he received these fatal wounds, was described by the commanding officers as disastrous. Prior to the charge over the top the barbed wire protecting the opposition was supposedly cut down by gunfire the previous day. However, the soldiers found that, upon getting there, that this was not the case. They were pinned in no man's land and succumbed to heavy machine gun fire from the Germans. I cannot begin to imagine the horrors of any war but this picture haunts me most of all.
