Exclamation Lest we forget - 11-11-11
On Armistice Day, let's stop and remember those who sacrificed everything, so that we could live the way that we do.

This morning in Crowborough:



The Western Front, 2010:

La Boiselle


Dud Shell, the outer wall of the Lancashire's Cemetery, near Hawthorn Ridge.


The French Cemetery at Serre:


Beaumont Hamel / Serre, opening day of the Somme Offensive objectives map:


Amazing colour footage from WWII:
