Re: Quintinshill 22nd May 1915
In quite recent times (the past twenty years or so) an officers sword was dug up during relaying operations at Quintinshill. Not sure what's become of it, but no doubt it still exists somewhere.
A topper is proper if the train's a non-stopper!

....And another here, which, although originating in 2008, from November last (about three-quarters of the way down the first of its 5 pages) discusses this incident in the light of the 'conspiracy' book.markindurham wrote:There's a thread here
