My own Remembrance Day post
along with some Canadian Memories for you Patrick.
Although I must confess they are
memorialising a New Foundland Regiment.
and not a BC regiment.
As we walked the trenches my thoughts were that there
was not enough cover and I would be wanting to
dig down another foot or so if someone was shooting at me.
If anyone recognises this young lady
and she would like a full copy of the photo I will oblige.
I don’t like posting photos
if have not asked the subject.

Remembrance Day 2018
Before visiting the Western Front Battlefields in June 2017,
I had heard that Flanders poppies grew like weeds
on the Somme battlefields.
While this photo was taken in a cemetery,
the second image was a typical farm sight.
The photo below however, was not

And was an unexpected sight…
On this day,
the eleventh day
of the eleventh month
at the eleventh hour
World War I ended
in 1918.
Today is Remembrance Day
Beautiful: beautiful images, and beautifully stated. Thanks, Woolly. =)
