Note: The supporting info for answer 49 was corrected on 8 Feb 2007 - The Battle of The Somme was in 1916, not 1918 as previously stated. The main answer to the question was correct (First World War) - the error was in the supporting info about the year, (ack J P Corcoran). The answer to question 35 was extended on 19 Jun 2007 to include 'skein' (thanks B Curran and E Ward).
