Rememberence Day

Seeing as today is Rememberence day, I thought I would post some of the pictures I took in France & Belgium on my WW1 Battlefield Tour.

This is a Picture Heavy thread, so grab a coffee and a bun, sit back and scroll through. While doing that, just take a moment to reflect on what the 1.2 million men who died for us in the Great War actually did

Lest we forget!

Very moving

I will be at the Redhill service on Sunday. Emma is in the band playing there

Cheers guys.

I have one last batch to post, with a couple of headstone shots that are really sad. 2 soldiers who died in action on November 11th 1918. That must be so gutting. Everyone knew that it was going to be over at 11.00am.

Truly lump in the throat.
I am embaressed to say i know almost nothing of our history,and seeing those crosses with no names on, fields and fields of them is shocking.
Anyone who wants a trip after christmas,i am going.

I am going again next year. Mike has 2 different 4 day tours, plus is adding stuff all the time.

I would seriously recommend him.

Like crowman, I am sorry to say I know very little in this resect, but Steve, those pictures mate really do deliver a messege. As has already been said, it brings a lump to your throat just looking through the pictures so it must be spine tingling to see it, and as for 'actually' being there then, well , i cant image.

Very poignant mate. We should be grateful and ashamed for their sacrifice.
