For the last 18 days and nights there has been continuous heavy bombardment of the German Lines.
At 0250 the bombardment stopped and Harry and his colleagues were ordered to lie down.
A 0310 the largest man-made explosion to date blew apart the German front lines at Messines Ridge. 450 tonnes of high explosive, in 19 mines, was detonated. The explosion was heard in London and Dublin.
"Gentlemen, we may not make history tomorrow, but we shall certainly change the geography."
Remark by General Plumer to his staff the evening before the attack
An account of the battle can be found on the FirstWorldWar.com website, on Wikipedia or on many other sources.
We need to wait for any news of Harry, to determine his fate.
