A warm welcome from this little fella, think I'll call him Max (if you know you know), in the ⁦@CWGC⁩ visitor centre in Ieper. Do pop in if you're in town for a friendly chat and a little history of The Menin Gate.

It’s interesting to read an account Serjeant Harry Jago’s dad wrote after visiting his son’s grave in Bayeux in 1947. His words about the cemetery’s ‘glorious sight’ rang true when I visited in August, almost 80 years later. 📍Bayeux War Cemetery 🇫🇷

One of those killed on the opening day of the Loos battle. I wonder if he was thinking about his little girl he was destined never to see as he went over the top. And for her a life without Dad. The epitaph is very moving. Buried at Vermelles British Cemetery near Loos.

There are certain days in history that change everything. 28 June, 1916 was one of those. In the early hours of that day my Great, Great Uncle Thomas Wilson clambered from his trench in front of Hairpin Craters, not far from Hulluch, as part of a raid on the German lines. 1/ #ww1
