Historical Research
The foundation for the success
of The
Durand Group lies in
extensive prior research of the historical
records available. Detailed examination of
archives in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium,
Germany, Canada and elsewhere is a continuous
process.
War Diaries, Staff and
Intelligence Reports and Mining Records all
provide invaluable information as do Trench and
Mining Maps.
Service Records and historical and other Publications are also of great assistance.
Written records are further bolstered by contemporary photography of the period, especially air photographs.
