John Cubin Posted 3 January , 2011 Share Posted 3 January , 2011 Hi John Is that a Brit helmet?? Yes. The rim was all but gone. I went back the next day to take more photos, but it had disappeared. I hope whoever rescued it got it home in one piece for it was rather fragile. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verrico2009 Posted 20 March , 2011 Share Posted 20 March , 2011 I quite like this, from yesterday's commemoration of the 90th anniversary of the unveiling of the 1921 unveiling of the memorial (Sutton thread), when this lad stood stock still at the front for the whole proceedings.

John Rice Posted 3 April , 2011 Share Posted 3 April , 2011 It was probably this one at Newfoundland Park, Beaumont Hamel. I am wondering why the deer only has 3 legs ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted 3 April , 2011 Share Posted 3 April , 2011 It is the angle that the photo is taken at plus this Caribou has front legs which are similar in position. Anyway who ever heard of a three-legged Caribou?, surely he would fall over!! Both legs are almost in shot here: Regards Norman PS You were two days out for April 1st.

Seadog Posted 3 April , 2011 Share Posted 3 April , 2011 A detail from the memorial to the Irish Poet which is situated near Artillery Wood War Cemetery in Flanders where he is buried. Francis Ledwidge was killed on the 31st July 1917, the first day of the battle of 3rd Ypres better known as "Passchendaele". "He shall not hear The Bittern cry In the wild sky Where he is lain" Kindly added to this Flickr gallery: Irelands Great War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
