Zonnebeke, Winter 1917-18. A British infantryman is stuck fast in a large pool of liquid mud in a shell hole. To the right one of his comrades stands beckoning to him. There is barbed wire in the background. text: Stuck Fast in Mud. The beginning of an awful experience! One of the 10th Service Battalion York and Lancaster Regt got held fast by the mud and slime in a shell hole which flooded as he struggled. To haul him with ropes was impossible as he would have died. It took four nights hard work by the Pioneers to get him free. HIs comrade stood by him day and night under fire. He fed him by means of a long stick. When eventually saved both went delirious. Alexander Jamieson, Captain QM 10th York & Lancaster Regt.

“Stuck Fast in Mud” by Alexander Jamieson, 1918, #IWM.

This harrowing piece shows a Tommy trapped in the slimy mud of the #Ypres salient.

The artist was an eyewitness and helped rescue this #soldier. Many others in similar circumstances weren’t so fortunate. #fww #fwwhist #ww1 #WWI #WesternFront

And thats the 1st wrap of 2026! A brilliant morning with stops at the Christmas truce area, Essex Farm @cwgc to talk poems & medical routes, #Ypres centre & finishing off full circle at the flying memorial at #StOmer. A fantastic week with a fantastic group! Now we head home!

A final good morning #Arras for this tour! A crisp 4.3 mile stroll around town, skirting the river Scarpe, before breakfast. Weather looking good for our group on their last half day on the #battlefields as we head to #Ypres then onto our final stop before home. #LetsRoll

Stairs inside the arch where the Last Post is held every night to remember fallen soldiers in WOI. Wreaths made out of poppies are placed at the top of the stairs in lovely light coming from stairs on the left and right of them, outside the frame.

I follow Paul Reed at the @oldfrontline.bsky.social. I recently watched one of Paul’s videos about the battles around Ypres. He mentioned “The Immortal Salient” published in 1924. I procured a copy and it’s magnificent. Thanks Paul!

On the #WW1 #Flandersfields 🇧🇪 battlefields around #Ieper #Ypres this weekend: Hooge and Bellewaerde ridge, Menin Gate, Hill 60 and the German command bunker in Zandvoorde. The rainy Fall weather added to the experience.

"Menin Gate, Ypres, Belgium" by Richard Tennant Cooper, 1918, Royal Signals Museum.

The #Ypres salient was a battleground for most of the #GreatWar. As such, the city and surrounding area were familiar to millions of #British and #Commonwealth #soldiers in the war years. #combatart #fww #fwwhist

And thats a final wrap for 2025! An amazing day starting in the fields & grave side 109 years to the day of our guests relative when he fell. Then onto a wet #Thiepval, of course a proper #Cuppa at the @sommeassociation #UlsterTower, then onto another relative at #ProwsePoint, & #Ypres to finish
