Finally, I manage to return to Edinburghs finest restaurant ,Castle Terrace to eat the superb cuisine of the amazing chef Dominic Jack. It`s been a while since my previous visit so I was pretty excited to be spending the weekend in the city and prioritised Castle terrace as my number one choice of places to dine. The restaurant showcases exactly what I`m looking for in a plate of food. Prime regional ingredients cooked with passion and imagination to an ultra high level. The food here carries bags of flavour , it`s technical , it`s accurately cooked and it`s very much classical old school robust taste sensations …right up my street , love it.
For any Game lovers out there – if you`re ever wanting to do a double hit of the very best of Scottish game then just pop here during Autumn and pair it up with Castle terraces sister restaurant `The Kitchin` . I don`t think you`ll find a better duo in Scotland.
So here`s Dominics seasonal Tasting menu priced at £75 . We enjoyed it with a lovely wine pairing at £55.
Liquid Caesar salad , Caper & Cumin Burger and Salt Cod barbajuan.
Tomato Gazpacho before…and after the pour.
Tartare of Roe Deer from Stobo estate served with Mustard ice cream.
Panna Cotta of Arbroath smokey……. with a hidden surprise.
The cut reveals the hidden surprise inside the Egg.
Sweet Mango puree oozes out onto the hidden tartare below.
I suppose this one shouldn`t leave the menu now as it`s such a popular dish at Castle Terrace. It might even get as popular as Hestons Meat fruit. Here we were served a Free range creamy Chicken liver parfait placed inside a Muscat grape outer coat. The leaf is a cracker made from Rosemary.
Barbequed shoulder of Ayrshire Pork served with Chick Pea. A very clever little treat here , ohh jeez I could eat one right now. Potato base topped with the Pork and the Chickpea bun top. The Cheese is actually Turnip.
Roasted fillet of North sea Hake , vegetables and Lemon / Lime sauce.
Risotto of organic spelt from Eden Valley with Scottish Beef and Asparagus…and a wee bit of Truffle for good measure. Ohhh this was so good.
Previous Post The Witchery by the castle – Edinburgh , Scotland.
Next Post Martin Wishart at Loch Lomond.
Love the pictures you took. Can't believe CT lost its Michelin Star. It's easil one of the finest restaurants in the whole of Scotland.
It was a criminal act. I was expecting them to get their 2nd.

We Are Privileged to Serve
At Forest Lawn Funeral Home, Cemetery and Crematory, earning and maintaining the trust that families place in our staff is our highest priority. Our team of dedicated, experienced and compassionate professionals consider it their greatest reward to provide comfort and peace-of-mind at the times when it is needed most.
Whether you face an immediate need, or wish to pre-plan final preparations for yourself or a loved one, we are privileged to serve you and your family.
Angela Erickson
Family Service Director
Although Angela has worked in the cemetery and funeral industry for nearly two decades, she has never had a typical day at the office. "Since every family is unique, every experience is unique," she says. "There is an incredible diversity and richness in a profession that enables you to meaningfully honor each individual you serve."
Having grown up in a small community in southern Nebraska, Angela attended college in Lincoln before embarking on her career. The passion she shows for her vocation, as well as a strong work ethic and a clear-eyed sense of integrity, have made her a widely respected leader in the industry.
Jamie Streiff
Cemetery and Funeral Counselor
Jamie draws upon her counseling skills, as well as her own experiences with loss, to help ease the burdens of families during difficult times. "I have always felt called to help others," she says. "And my profession gives me the opportunity to do so in a deeply personal, but also practical, rewarding, way."
The empathy that Jamie brings to her work, along with her pre-planning and pre-funding expertise as a licensed pre-need funeral insurance provider, allows her to support families and help eliminate unnecessary stress during the grieving process.
Kelli Rothfus
An Iowa native, Kelli joined Forest Lawn in 2012, and is motivated by her strong sense of community service and the importance of family in her own life. "When families visit Forest Lawn, I want them to feel peace, and know that their loved ones' wishes have been honored," she says.
As a licensed pre-need funeral insurance provider, Kelli is proficient at helping with both immediate need and pre-planning of cemetery and funeral arrangements.
Tami Springer
Tami had a long career as an account executive before moving into family service in 2010. "I was in New Orleans for work, and had the opportunity to tour Metairie Cemetery there," she recalls. "Thinking about all those people, and the lives they touched, filled me with a new sense of purpose to honor the legacies of lives well-lived."
As a cemetery planner and licensed pre-need funeral insurance provider, Tami's dedication to the families she serves-and her pride in Forest Lawn-is evident in the 60 mile commute she makes daily from her home in Lincoln.
Teresa Randazzo
Teresa has been with Forest Lawn since 2010 as a cemetery planner and a licensed pre-need funeral insurance provider. "Every day, I have the opportunity to make a positive impact in people's lives," she says. "There is nothing more rewarding than that."
Teresa's relationship-building skills help the families she works with feel at ease, while her professionalism provides calm reassurance in stressful times.
Timothy Cihal
A proud Veteran of the United States Navy, Tim has been serving in the funeral and cemetery industry for nearly 30 years, first as a licensed funeral director and embalmer, and currently as a cemetery planner and licensed pre-need funeral insurance professional. Tim earned his Bachelor of Science degree in education from the University of Nebraska, as well as a degree from Worsham College of Mortuary Science in Wheeling, Illinois. Of his lifelong calling, Tim says, "It is a privilege to work with families in their time of need, and incredibly rewarding when they throw their arms around me and say thank you for helping them make these very personal decisions a little easier."
Todd Thorsteinson
Todd's personal and professional life have given him the chance to live and travel in many different places, but he's always drawn back to his home state of Nebraska. Having recently returned to the area after 20 years in and around the East Coast, Todd finds it rewarding to help others in the Omaha community. "As a veteran of the United States Air Force, I have always been called to service," he says. "In my role at Forest Lawn, I'm honored to be able to serve families in their time of need."
Marvin Olson
"The better a funeral director is at their job, the less they should be noticed," says Marvin. And that's just fine with him. "I cannot imagine a profession that is more humbling, or more gratifying, and I'm thankful every day that this is my life's path."
Raised near Stanton, Iowa, Marvin graduated from Commonwealth Institute of Mortuary Sciences in Houston, Texas and has worked throughout Iowa and Nebraska.
Nicole Drumheller
Nicole works with families to create video tributes, set up visitations and funerals and greet guests. "The ambiance and architecture at Forest Lawn are so inviting, and every member of the staff is knowledgeable, helpful and positive," she says. "We all take great pride in serving families at one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the region."
Nicole's warmth and kindness shine through in the ways she focuses on the details so that families can focus on their loved ones.
Anděl "Andi" Starr
Funeral Director Apprentice
Andi has recently started her apprenticeship at Forest Lawn. She knew from an early age she wanted to be a funeral director. Andi spent several years working in healthcare while raising her four kids, then pursued her Mortuary Science degree from ACC in Colorado, graduating Fall 2021. As she continues to develop her skills, she is grateful to be working with such a caring and compassionate team. "Everyone here is absolutely dedicated to serving their community," she said. "I look forward to learning from everyone here and, in turn, serving the community alongside them."
Steve Brunken
Executive Director/Funeral Director
With 40 years of experience in the industry, Steve is one of the most influential and well-regarded funeral professionals in the region.
He is currently serving his second five-year term as a board member of the Nebraska Department of Health, Bureau of Examining Boards for Funeral Directing, and has previously served as president of the Nebraska Funeral Directors Association. As a member of the Legislative Committee of the Nebraska Funeral Directors Association, Steve played an active role in writing and presenting the Cremation Law, passed by the Nebraska State Legislature.
Steve's lifelong commitment to community involvement includes his active participation in many organizations including the Shriners Hospital For Children in the Twin Cities, Sesostris Shrine Temple in Lincoln, Lincoln Valley Scottish Rite, Hickman Lodge # 256 Ancient Free and Accepted Masons in Lincoln, and Ivanhoe Lodge #446 Ancient Free and Accepted Masons in Kansas City.
Willie Dove
Willie graduated from Doane University with honors and a bachelor's degree in corporate communications, as well as an MBA; but it was planning his father's funeral that led him to his career. "Since there were no pre-arrangements, I had to make difficult decisions," Willie says. "To this day, I hope they are the ones my dad would have wanted."
Willie is a cemetery planner and licensed pre-need funeral insurance provider. His industry knowledge and the time and care he devotes to each person he works with, helps ensure that our client families never have to undergo the same uncertainty.
Teresa has been with Forest Lawn for nearly ten years as a cemetery planner and a licensed pre-need funeral insurance provider. "Every day, I have the opportunity to make a positive impact in people's lives," she says. "There is nothing more rewarding than that."
Kealy McCombs
Kealy has been a funeral director in the Omaha area for four years. She earned her mortuary science degree from KCKCC after getting a degree in psychology from UNL. "I've known since Junior High School this was what I was meant to do in life, and am so glad I have the opportunity to serve families at Forest Lawn," says Kealy.
She is looking forward to working with an amazing staff that all have the same goal; to honor the families they serve by respecting their loved ones and treating them as our own.

This variety has very high quality, reddish brown nuts that are late ripening, yet do ripen sufficiently here in the Northern edge of chestnut culture. Good disease resistance and an excellent pollinator. In the North, Belle Epine Chestnut seeds come down in the husk, protecting them from jays and squirrels.


Established in 1790 in London, Haynes Bros Ltd is now the holding company for a group of subsidiary companies operating throughout the South East.
Moving to Kent in 1832, the Company was the first in the county to take on the Ford Motor Company franchise in 1911 and then sell and distribute the complete range of Ford cars, trucks and agricultural machinery.
Today it is the only privately owned company in the UK that still distributes these range of products, albeit now with different manufacturers given Ford Motor Company's departure from the truck and agricultural sectors. As part of this move, the Company has developed a relationship with Fiat Group and also now distributes their products via their subsidiaries, Iveco, New Holland and Case IH. It also has the JCB agricultural franchise as well as other leading makes of farm machinery.
The Company operates four subsidiary companies from seven locations in the South East.

Obviously that doesn't execute the command."
I am expecting to see

When A Writer Wants To Add Authority On A Topic, The Writer Should
How Does A Writer Have Authority?
To be able to write with authority, you must have the skill of bringing the reader along with you as you present your argument and of convincing them to agree with what you have to say.
Why Authority Is Important In Writing?
Ultimately, authority convinces readers to take a leap of faith. It instills trust; it's the practice of believing that the illusion of the story is as real as anything else. To put it simply, authority is literary sleight of hand.
What Is Step 3 Of The Writing Process?
Writing is a process that can be divided into three stages: Pre-writing, drafting and the final revising stage which includes editing and proofreading.
What Is A Voice Of Authority In Writing?
The "voices of authority" are the first three categories of voices that we will discuss. Being seen as an authority or an expert on a subject is frequently critical to one's success. In fields that deal with complicated or overwhelming material, the allure of the authoritative voice is especially strong. People are simply interested in knowing the solutions.
What Makes The Author An Authority On This Topic?
The question of authority is: Who wrote it? Investigate the author's background and experience. The author ought to have the proper education or training in the subject area that is being discussed in the work that they are submitting. Check to determine if an academic press published the author's previous work if you know that they have written a book.
What Is Authority Literature?
Authority refers to the role of the composer and responder and the degree to which these are privileged in making meaning. It is used and implied in the English syllabus in two different senses: authority over a text ('author intent') and the authority of the text.
How Do You Show Authority?
There are five strategies to assert your authority that do not involve shouting.
1.Make it as impersonal as possible. If you're feeling dissatisfied and unhappy about a scenario, try to keep your attention on the situation itself rather than on the people involved.
Alter the way you sound….
Learn the names of those who work with you…
Learn when and how to bring things back down to a manageable level….
5.Make the facts more clear.
What Are 3 Types Of Authority
These three forms of authority were referred to by him as traditional authority, rational-legal authority, and charismatic authority.
What Is Authority Example?
Authority is defined as a person who is considered an expert in his field. A philosophy scholar who publishes books is an example of an authority. Power to influence or persuade resulting from knowledge or experience.
What Are The Stages Of Writing?
The general steps are: discovery\investigation, prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing.The general steps are: discovery\investigation, prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing.
What Is Your Writing Process?
Writing is a process that involves at least four distinct steps: prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing. It is known as a recursive process. While you are revising, you might have to return to the prewriting step to develop and expand your ideas.
What Are The 3 Stages Of Revision And Editing?
There are three steps to the revision process: revising, editing and proofreading. It is also important to remember that time management is a key factor in the complete process of researching, writing and editing your work.
How Do You Write An Authoritative Statement?
How to write with authority in your field from the very beginning of your writing career
Make use of common expressions: first, identify, then apply.
3.Pay attention to the specifics when you write while adhering to the conventions of your field.
Write for the people who will be reading it; take into account what they already know.
Be selective in your citations; maintaining a sense of equilibrium is essential.
How Do You Sound Like An Authority?
Here Are Eight Powerful Pointers That Will Help You Speak With Confidence and Authority
Acquire a sense of ownership over the space…
Maintain your imposing stance….
Adapt your message to the people who will be reading it…
Don't beat around the bush….
Change all instances of "uh" to more forceful filler words…
Don't make it more difficult than it needs to be.
Don't cuss, and instead tell me a tale.
What Is A Voice Of Authority In Journalism?
The "voices of authority" will be the topic of our discussion for the first three sorts of voices. Being recognized as a person who is an authority or an expert on a subject is frequently vitally significant. The allure of the authoritative voice is especially strong in sectors that deal with a lot of complicated or overwhelming material. People simply want to know the answers.

Moriceova linija (fra. ligne Morice) je bila obrambena crta koju je Francuska postavila na granici prema Tunisu i Maroku za vrijeme alžirskog rata za neovisnost. Ime je dobila prema ondašnjem francuskom ministru obrane Andréu Moriceu. Sagrađena je od 1957. godine. Protezala se u duljini od 460 km na tuniškoj granici i 700 km na maročkoj granici.

Krajem te 1957. godine francusko je zapovjedništvo primijenilo novu strategiju borbe protiv ustanika. Alžir je podijeljen na više područja pod vojnim zapovjedništvom tzv. quadrillage, te je stavljen naglasak na sprječavanje infiltracija militanata iz Tunisa i Maroka. Sljedeće je godine francuska vojska umjesto isključivo statične obrane pribjegla mobilnim operacijama protiv gerilskih uporišta. Nova je metoda polučila odlične rezultate te je velik dio ustaničkih uporišta uništen.

Godine 1959. udvostručena je obrambenom crtom zvanom Challeova linija.
Minska polja iz tog razdoblja su ostala do dan-danas nerazminirana.

Death of the I-864 sponsor terminates obligation.
Does an I-751 waiver end I-864 support?
What is 40 "work quarters" for purpose of the I-864?
The Form I-864 itself, official instructions, and statute all refer to work quarters with which the beneficiary may be "credited" rather than those she has earned. As the Gross Court concludes, it is clear that a beneficiary can be credited with work quarters earned by her spouse. Note, however, that this does not necessarily resolve the issue of whether quarters can be double-stacked. If both the beneficiary and sponsor are working, it is not obvious that two work quarters should be simultaneously counted towards the 40-quarter threshold.
 Cf. Davis v. Davis, No. WD-11-006 (Ohio Ct. App. May 11, 2012) (Singer, J. dissenting) (arguing that double-stacking should not be applied).

What Are the Benefits of Eating Green Bell Peppers?
What Are the Health Benefits of German Pumpernickel Bread?
What Are the Benefits of Rye Bread Vs. Wheat Bread?

Benefits of Buttermilk
Grains make up an important part of a healthful diet, and U.S. Department of Agriculture dietary guidelines recommend consuming 6 to 7 ounces each day. Each two-slice serving of bread -- including rye or wheat -- counts as 2 ounces of grains. Both rye and wheat breads provide nutritional value and boost your intake of essential nutrients. However, rye bread serves as a better source of several nutrients than wheat bread, making it a more healthful addition to your diet.
Calories, Complex Carbohydrates and Protein
Wheat and rye breads contain comparable amounts of calories -- two slices of wheat bread contain 157 calories, compared to 166 for an equivalent serving of rye bread. In both cases, most of the breads' calories come from complex carbohydrates, which your body uses to fuel your cells, promote intestinal health and help remove waste from your body. Both breads also contain small amounts of protein -- 6 grams per serving of wheat bread and 5.5 grams for rye. This protein nourishes your muscle tissue, helps maintain your immune system and helps you produce hormones.
Reach for rye bread as an excellent source of folate, or vitamin B-9. A serving of rye bread contains 97 micrograms of folate -- 24 percent of the recommended daily intake set by the Institute of Medicine -- compared to 57 micrograms found in an equivalent serving of wheat bread. Folate helps you produce red blood cells -- the cells that transport oxygen to your tissues -- and aids in healthy brain function. It also plays a role in cell growth and helps you synthesize DNA.
Rye bread also contains slightly more selenium than wheat bread. Selenium works together with vitamin E to protect your cells from free radicals, a family of harmful compounds that have been linked to cancer and heart disease. It also supports your immune system and aids the function of your thyroid gland. A two-slice serving of rye bread offers 20 micrograms of selenium, or approximately 36 percent of your daily intake, recommended by the Institute of Medicine. An equivalent serving of wheat bread contains 17 micrograms of selenium, or 31 percent of the recommended daily intake.
Rye bread offers a nutritional advantage over wheat because of its higher fiber content. Fiber helps you feel full -- it swells with water to physically fill up your stomach after a meal -- and it also regulates your blood sugar to protect you from blood sugar crashes, which can cause hunger. It also helps remove cholesterol from your system to lower your blood cholesterol levels, and prevents constipation. A serving of wheat bread contains 2.4 grams of fiber, compared to 3.7 grams found in two slices of rye bread. Each serving of rye bread provides 10 percent of the fiber intake recommendations for men or 15 percent for women, based on recommendations set by the Institute of Medicine.

James Harden scored 42 points before fouling out, and the visiting Houston Rockets extended their winning streak to five games with a 115-104 victory over the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
Before being whistled for his sixth foul with 1:44 left to play, Harden staved off a furious Boston rally with a driving layup and a 3-pointer over two defenders that extended the lead to 112-100. The Celtics, once down 71-43, scored the opening 10 points of the fourth quarter and had cut the margin to nine on a Marcus Smart second-chance basket at the 4:40 mark.
Eric Gordon matched his career high with eight 3-pointers and scored 32 points to complement Harden, who was 6 of 18 on treys. Chris Paul added 15 points and 12 assists as Houston, which finished 21 of 51 from beyond the arc, improved to 12-0 this season when Paul records double-digit assists.
Russell Westbrook scored 22 points, including two big shots in the closing stretch, to lead Oklahoma City past visiting Memphis.
The win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Thunder, the team's first since an 0-4 start to begin the season, and kept them tied with Portland for third place in the Western Conference after the Trail Blazers won at Charlotte earlier in the day.
Avery Bradley scored 27 points to lead the Grizzlies, who have lost six of their last eight.
Blake Griffin had 27 points and seven rebounds, and Detroit scored the final 10 points of overtime to defeat visiting Toronto.
Luke Kennard and Reggie Jackson had 19 points apiece for Detroit, which has won nine of its last 11 to reach the .500 mark at 31-31.
Andre Drummond had 15 points and 17 rebounds despite foul trouble. Wayne Ellington added 11 points for Detroit, which beat coach Dwane Casey's former team for the second time this season.
Rodney Hood came off the bench to score 27 points, including 21 in the fourth quarter, as Portland knocked off host Charlotte.
The Trail Blazers bolted to a 15-point lead in the first quarter but then had to pull away again in the fourth quarter, going on a 15-2 run in the final six minutes. Hood scored 14 of 16 Portland points in one stretch of the quarter.
Portland won for the sixth time in its last seven games. Jeremy Lamb scored 23 off the bench to lead the Hornets.
Bobby Portis had 26 points and 12 rebounds, Bradley Beal scored 22 points and host Washington defeated Minnesota.
Reserve Jabari Parker added 22 points for Washington, which had lost five of six.
Karl-Anthony Towns led the Timberwolves with 28 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, his first sub-30 point effort in four games. Derrick Rose scored 18 points off the bench.
Landry Shamet made four 3-pointers in the first eight minutes as Los Angeles went on to rout visiting New York.
Shamet finished with 21 points, all on 3-pointers, and Danilo Gallinari added 20 for the Clippers, who were beginning a stretch of eight consecutive games at the Staples Center. The Clippers will be listed as the visiting team on Monday night when they return to their home floor to face the rival Lakers.
Noah Vonleh (17 points, 12 rebounds) and Mitchell Robinson (16 points, 13 rebounds) recorded double-doubles for the Knicks, who likewise were playing the opener of a back-to-back sequence.
Jordan Clarkson scored 18 points off the bench, and Cleveland enjoyed a big fourth quarter to top visiting Orlando.
Collin Sexton had 17 points on 6-for-11 shooting. Kevin Love posted a double-double with 16 points and 14 rebounds, and Cedi Osman finished with 14 points and six boards.
Magic big man Nikola Vucevic led all scorers with 28 points on 13-for-16 shooting. He pulled down 13 rebounds and dished out six assists.
Alex Len scored a season-high 28 points and made two key free throws in the final seconds as visiting Atlanta hung on to beat Chicago.
Len picked up the scoring slack for the Hawks, who were without two starters and saw point guard Trae Young ejected in the third quarter. Len was 9 of 18 from the floor and made five 3-pointers to go along with nine rebounds and two blocked shots.
Lauri Markkanen led Chicago with 19 points and nine rebounds.

WW1: A history of The Great War
By John Anson
Soldiers on the battlefield during World War One
1914 Britain declared war on Germany on August 4, 1914, after the army of Kaiser Willhelm invaded Belgium.
War had been looming ever since the assassination of the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire Archduke Ferdinand six weeks earlier.
A complicated system of marriage and diplomatic alliances effectively split Europe into two with Austria-Hungary and Italy lining up alongside Germany and France, Britain and Russia opposing the expansionist ideas of the Kaiser.
The British government, which had earlier vowed to protect Belgium, felt that the idea of German troops massing on the other side of the Channel was a step too far.
Within days of war being declared, regular troops – known as the British Expeditionary Force –sailed for France tasked with halting the German advance with many soldiers telling their loved ones they would be home by Christmas.
The first major engagements were the Battle of Mons in August and Battle of the Marne in September and the British and French forces initially had some success.
But as both sides began to dig creating extensive trench systems reaching across North France from the coast to the Swiss border the war in-effect began to stall – trench warfare had arrived.
In October the Belgium border town of Ypres was at the centre of the fighting with the first battle for the control of this strategically important position.
Elsewhere Japan declared its support for the Allies and the Ottoman Empire aligning with the Germans – a true world war was underway.
As well as the fighting on land, the two sides were competing for superiority on the seas. The Kaiser had spent heavily on creating a new modern fleet to challenge Britain's traditional dominance.
1915 With the battle for Flanders effectively at a stalemate the British government had to take steps to prepare for a drawn-out conflict, a conflict for which in reality it was woefully underprepared.
In March, an extension to the Defence of the Realm Act was passed by Parliament which gave the government extensive emergency powers including control over the press and the workplace.
A coalition government was formed in May and 1915 was the year when women began to take on jobs which previously had been regarded as man's work.
On the Western Front, the stalemate continued. The second Battle of Ypres saw mustard gas used for the first time.
Bulgaria joined the war on the side of Austria-Hungary and Italy swapped sides to join the Allies.
In April Allied forces began an attack on a new front at Gallipoli in Turkey – an ill-fated campaign which ended in January 1916 with Allied forces, including Australian troops suffering massive losses for no real gains.
The British Navy blockaded German ports and in response the German began submarine attacks.
In May the passenger liner Lusitania was sunk off the coast of Ireland with the loss of over 1,200 passengers including over 100 Americans.
The year was also notable for the first appearances over London of the dreaded zeppelins which bombed the city – an act which brought the horrors of war to the home front. During the war over 2,000 civilians were killed or injured in air raids.
1916 Conscripition was introduced for men aged 18-41 in February. Around the country, Pals battalions were formed with work colleagues, men from the same town, even from the same football team enlisting together.
In the same month, the German army launched a major offensive on the town of Verdun.
The Allies in turn planned a major counter attack along the river Somme. On July 1 after days of shelling the German lines, the order was given to British troops to advance.
Having sat out the aerial bombardment in underground bunkers, the German army was largely unaffected and met the Allied advance with a hail of machine gun fire. By the end of the day around 60,000 were killed or lay injured on the battlefield making it the blackest day of the war.
For the men of the 11th Battalion East Lancashire Regiment 720 'went over the top' at 7.20am. By 8am, 585 were dead, wounded or missing.
As the fighting on the Somme continued, tanks were seen on the battlefield for the first time.
In May, one of the most important battles at sea took place at Jutland which allowed the British fleet to gain effective control of the shipping lanes.
On the home front the move for Irish independence led to the Easter rising when for a short time am Irish Republic was declared before the rebels were defeated by British troops.
1917 The first few months saw major developments in global terms. In Russia, Tsar Nichalas II abdicated after the first of a revolution in February and the October Revolution saw the Bolsheviks lead by Lenin assuming total control. This in turn led to an armistice being declared in December 1917 freeing up German troop to be released from the Eastern front.
This was also the year that the Americans declared war on Germany after the German tried to get Mexico to invade the United States. American joining the Allies meant more men, ships and supplies heading to the Western front.
On the battlefield the Germans began the year by retreating to a series of fortified positions known as the Hindenburgh line.
Major battles at Arras and Paschendale saw casualties continue to rise for little or no gain.
German U-boats were proving hugely effective hitting good supplies and leading to rationing being introduced in Britain. The Atlantic convoys which saw supply boats guarded by warships were also introduced and anti-submarine patrols were stepped up.
In spite of the massive casualties and apparent stalemate on the front line, anti-German feeling remained. Such was the depth of it that King George V made a royal proclamation on July 17 changing the name of the royal family to Windsor from the German Saxe-Coburg.
1918 With the extra resources from the Eastern front at their disposal, German commanders launched a major spring offensive and for three months tried unsuccessfully to break through the Allied forces.
The Allies struck back, first at the Marne and then at Amiens and by autumn the Germans found themselves being pushed back behind the Hindenburg line, short of supplies and facing the prospect of defeat.
At 11am on November 11 an armistice was signed between the Allies and the Germans and the guns fell silent. In four years the Allies lost around six million soldiers, the Germans four million and the total number of military and civilian casualties was over 37 million.
On the home front, the coalition government was re-elected in December, a General Election notable for women over 30 being able to vote for the first time.
Although an armistice had been signed in November, was was not officially ended until June 28, 191 with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.


This incredible patient was bothered by the bump on her nose and how off-balance it looked. She had a lot of trouble breathing as well. Following her rhinoplasty she felt her nose looked natural and complimented her beautiful smile. She could also breath better than she had in ages. She looks amazing!
