The After Journey’s End video draws heavily from Michael Lucas’s account of the 9th East Surreys during the Kaiserschlacht (the ‘Kaiser’s Battle’), in his book “The Journey’s End Battalion: The 9th East Surrey in the Great War“. I am grateful to Michael, and his son Andrew Lucas, for the images and information they provided which made the video possible.

Following the timeline of the video, here are the sources:
