In 2005, Thrale.com was contacted by Richard Herbert who was trying to write his company's history. During his research, he found a newspaper clipping about an outing to No Man's Land on Saturday, July 9th 1870 arranged by his great-great-grandfather. He kindly shared images of the documents he had found. www.thrale.com shared details of the museum curators, Ralph Norman Thrale and William Thrale. .
