Dig Hill 80
*Scuffling noise as a camera is placed facing its user.*
Hey, guys. It's Belfast again.
Sorry for not uploading in a while. University is kicking my butt and finals are coming up. But I cramped in some time because I think this is important.
It is "Dig Hill 80."
Hill 80 was a German entrenched observation position during the Great War. It is located in Vit…Witj…Wijtsha…Wijtschate?
*Someone says something in another room off camera.*
It's pronounced how? Just say Whitesheet? Sorry, guys. Orion says to just say "Whitesheet." Feel free to comment the correct pronunciation.
Anyways, Hill 80 was a German entrenched observation position during World War I and it is located in "Whitesheet," Belgium. It's a little south of Ypres.
It is an extremely well preserved battlefield with artifacts and bodies of soldiers from both sides that have been there since 1918.
The archeologists have started a Kickstarter campaign called "Dig Hill 80: Excavating an Endangered WWI Battlefield."
If this project gets funded – and I sure hope it gets funded – we will be able to uncover more secrets of the Great War. We will also be able to give these soldiers a proper burial.
However, it is an "All or nothing" fundraiser. Meaning, if they do not reach their goal, no funds will go into the project.
As of the time of this recording, it is late night on 11th of December, 2017, there are five days left. By the time this goes up, it'll be four days left.
So, please. Please donate if you can. Even if it is only one pound, or one dollar, or one of whatever currency you use. If you can't donate, please spread the word. They will take any support they can get.
Sorry for the short notice, but I just found out.
This is for a good cause and I know the Great War vets will appreciate it, too.
*Orion is seen in the doorway, a soft smile on her face.*
Take care folks.
*Belfast reaches out and shuts the camera off.*
