The German leadership decided to change tactics, building a brand-new system of defences which they called Siegfriedstellung, otherwise known as the Hindenburg Line.

His unit was to be part of an offensive whose main objective was Passchendaele Ridge. Attached to the Fourth Division, his battalion, he wrote, 'would be on the right flank, and my C Company, commanded by Captain Craigmile, was assigned the task of entering and holding the village of Poelcappelle which straddled a ridge in serrated line – the ruins of houses – against the misty sky.' Mendes married in October 1919, and had a son, Alfred John, the following year. His first wife, Jessie Rodriguez, died of pneumonia after only two years of marriage. [7] A second marriage, a year later, ended in divorce in 1938. His third wife was Ellen Perachini, mother of his last two sons, Jameson Peter and Stephen Michael. [16] He is the grandfather of Academy Award winning director Sam Mendes, whose 2019 film 1917 is inspired by Mendes' First World War stories.

In The Autobiography of Alfred H Mendes 1897–1991 (written in the Seventies but published posthumously), Alfred described how his war stories kept “my grand- and great-grandchildren enthralled for nights on end” – one of whom was the young Sam. The film, set to be released on December 25 in the US, has already earned praise, Oscar buzz, and Golden Globe nominations for best picture and director Great British Bake Off's Manon Lagrève reveals she is pregnant with her second child a year after tying the knot with husbandLuke Bennett Reinhard W.

Omid Scobie insists Harry and Meghan didn't brief him for book - but admits there are 'plenty of people around them' who DID'We stayed at a local B&B, the Sable de la Fontaine, (highly recommended if you are in this locale) in the nearby Annequin and Cuinchy areas. Both locations are mentioned in the diary. The owners were largely unaware of the tunnel systems. They were intrigued by the diary and asked for a copy. On returning home the owners asked for permission (granted of course) for it to be made available to the local history group. I am also aware that they have attended a meeting held by the Durand Group in nearby Loos or Lens, so hopefully the diary might play some small part in achieving the objective of having part of the tunnels being opened to the public.

Trinidadians who either worked or socialised with Alfie remember him as bright, energetic and deeply involved in the affairs of his country. Realising the power of politics to create change, he became a founding member of the United Front, a socialist-leaning party that contested Trinidad and Tobago's 1946 general elections. Although they won the lion's share of the vote and secured three of nine parliamentary seats, they never again ran for office. On October 12, the British army attempted to take the village of Poelcappelle in harsh weather conditions and sustained significant losses: almost a quarter of the 484-man battalion were killed, wounded, or missing. Those who went missing were cut off from the rest, scattered throughout the nightmarish landscape known as No Man’s Land.

The Battle of Arras, which commenced in April 1917, was essentially the British army’s first attempt to breach the Hindenburg Line. Prince William was 'furious' when his godmother Lady Susan Hussey became embroiled in a race row, Omid Scobie claims in new book It was as a runner during the British assault on Poelcappelle in October 1917 that Mendes earned the Military Medal, carrying vital messages between the companies of his battalion and the Advanced Report Centre. Having volunteered for this assignment in spite of his commanding officer’s bald admission that “there may be no return”, Mendes scurried around in search of the shell holes where the other companies might be holed up. In the words of his Military Medal citation: “For the whole of these two days he was continually on the move.” Mendes' life was fascinating in many ways, one of these being the number of famous people with whom he interacted, with CLR James and Aldous Huxley standing out among all. Nobody even bothers to remember this man anymore and that is why, for me, it is so fascinating to find that not only did he meet so many, but he became close friends with many of these men and women. But if there is one thing I value Alfred in particular, it is because he was more than many could expect, myself included. The first war only occupies two fleeting chapters in his book, taking the rest to speak in depth of the love and aspirations he had towards his greatest talent: writing. In the spring of 1917 the British began to utilise tunnels and artillery with more strategic acumen than ever before.
