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!

After a self imposed break, its time to get back out, & what better way than with a small group from #NorthernIreland! 6 days across the #YpresSalient & #Somme #battlefields, some personal stops, small stops, & some old haunts! First stop #TalbotHouse for a cuppa! #LetsRoll

A final good morning #LaBoisselle for this tour! A beautiful morning for a nice 5 1/2 mile stroll to #Contalmaison and back before breakfast. Now to head to the #YpresSalient to visit a few key sites before heading home. #LetsRoll

Good morning #Arras! A top 4.7 mile stroll down the #Scarpe & part of town to get the day going! Today we look fwd to a stop at #Waterloo (another guest connection) then to the #YpresSalient to continue our #Australians #WW1 pilgrimage, plus a big surprise for them later!

A good morning in the office! Finally have the whole collection of #YpresSalient books by Paul Chapman on the kindle! I cannot recommend these books enough for anyone visiting the Salient.
The detail of research on each grave is astounding, Paul really is the go to guy for anything Salient related

Guiding on another tour; this one in the Ypres Salient, with this great bunch of friends, old and new.

Taking "Sanctuary" in the wood.

Remaining witnesses from scenes of bitter fighting, splintered tree stumps perforated with pieces of shrapnel and bullets.

Autumn finally arriving here on the Ypres Salient battlefields with the copious amounts of leaves falling and carpeting themselves around the Brooding Soldier memorial.
