Here dead we lie
Because we did not choose
To live and shame the land
From which we sprung.
RIP lads.

Apologies if SEB but this is a very unusual and moving tribute.
They were in Eldon Square bus station this morning just singing. Was some performance.Apologies if SEB but this is a very unusual and moving tribute.
I did similar in 2014. What an amazing and totally humbling experience.Did the tour in 2010. Great experience in a respectful way. Unbelievable how many gravestones are marked "known only unto God" and those poor souls on the Theipval Monument have no grave are remains to bury at all. Also did Ieper which was another great experience.

I'd love to have seen that, although I may have struggled to keep it together.

I just had a Frenchman thank me for the allies contribution.

Ran off to the bog

Newcastle Station
Yes, I was around Newcastle central metro station this morning photographing some the actors dressed as Northumberland Fusiliers who silently arrived at the station, waited on the platform and then took a Metro down to Sunderland. It was quite a moving experience, one of lads silently handed me a card with
"Private Hugh Lynch
24 (Tyneside Irish) Battalion
Northumberland Fusiliers
Died at the Somme on 1st July 1916"

What a fantastic tribute.
I'm not ashamed to say that I'm now officially in bits.
It was the part where he handed you the card that did it.
