Every year in February we visit Ypres and The Somme for a few days. We never tire of the visit! A time of reflection as well as education! The Menin gate ceremony is very moving. #remembrance #november11 #remembranceday #ypres #TheSomme #photography

“They came from the very same streets we came from. They walked the very same lanes. They went to the very same churches and pubs. They sang the same songs and refrains. So, when I walk these roads to remember these folk. (For, my Granda was one of these men). I’ll remember the shout Faugh A Ballagh. And I’ll cheer on the Oul 36th.”
We will remember them #TheSomme

When we left San Jose I put some of the proceeds of our house sale to buying this piece of history/art. The Somme (the picture and the battle) seemed the best metaphor for our time in San Jose. #ww1 #ww2 #history #theSomme
