First Day at Cocken Hall

Sunday, June 21st, 2015
 
       

Today was our first full day of excavation at Cocken Hall, we have opened four trenches all of which look possitive. On the site of the house, we have located several walls and some interior fixtures. In the training trenches area work is progressing with some features showing.

This afternoon we had a show and tell of the uniform and equipment used by the Durham Pals in training at Cocken Hall. Unlike most of Kitchener’s New Army, the 18th DLI, which were privately funded, receieved drab uniform quickly, rather than the unpopular temporary Kitchener’s Blue.
