I just listened to an Evelyn Garriss interview. She is a very smart lady for long range weather.
She made the observation that last time Katla (The Iceland volcano beside the one erupting) erupted in 1918 it caused such heavy rain the trenches in France were flooded. (Not sure about this, Paschendale was in 1917) Another time it covered Europe in dust and filtered the sunlight so much, crops failed and the French peasants were told to eat cake. Also linked to the the Irish potato famine.
I might do a little research because I'm reading Beneath Hill 60. Hill 60 is outside Ypres and was blown during the Third Battle of Ypres, also known as Paschendale) I don't need much of an excuse to look up that battle, my Father was there somewhere and I can't find where he fought, all I know is what Company he was with.
