A couple of months after that attack my grandfather, who was in the Royal Engineers, was wounded as his unit moved up through France into Belgium.
He was repatriated on an ambulance train and, when sufficiently recovered, transferred to the Royal Flying Corps and eventually the RAF at nearby Halton.
I have quite a few records of his WW1 service but they do need piecing together but he can't have been too far from those huge detonations.
