Seadog Posted 15 December , 2011 Share Posted 15 December , 2011 O no there must be two June and I thought it was my lucky day. Still never mind the photo was excellent!. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockdoc Posted 15 December , 2011 Share Posted 15 December , 2011 Let's see if you're still lucky! This was taken in Doiran British Cemetery, Doirani, Greece, on the same trip. On the skyline, on Colonial Hill, is the Doiran Memorial to the Missing. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted 15 December , 2011 Share Posted 15 December , 2011 Yes another free phone!, but seriously though that photosite is pretty awful and totally spoils the pleasure of seeing the photos that you have posted. Flickr is just so much better than this. Thanks for showing us your images they deserve better. My photo above is linked from Flickr which has no advertising whatsoever.

Rockdoc Posted 15 December , 2011 Share Posted 15 December , 2011 You're luckier than I am, then, Norman! Perhaps I don't get the ads because I'm a user of the site but I haven't seen anything like you two have all the time I've been using it.

Seadog Posted 16 December , 2011 Share Posted 16 December , 2011 Keith here is the screen for the last photo that you posted. Really annoying and made even more so by the fact that the adverts move thereby rendering the images unviewable. Still waiting for my free phones.

keithmroberts Posted 16 December , 2011 Share Posted 16 December , 2011 Norman It must be something to do with your browser or settings. I just see the image, as part of the post and clicking on it brings up an image that takes up say 1/3 of the screen with an unfussy photobucket background.

Seadog Posted 1 January , 2012 Share Posted 1 January , 2012 Deutscher Soldatenfriedhof – Langemarck You do not know what Flanders means. Flanders means endless human endurance. Flanders means blood and scraps of human bodies. Flanders means heroic courage and faithfulness even unto death. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadog Posted 29 February , 2012 Share Posted 29 February , 2012 SANCTUARY WOOD, FLANDERS Dead Man's Dump The plunging limbers over the shattered track Racketed with their rusty freight, Stuck out like many crowns of thorns, And the rusty stakes like sceptres old To stay the flood of brutish men Upon our brothers dear.

Seadog Posted 29 February , 2012 Share Posted 29 February , 2012 HIGH WOOD – THE SOMME High Wood to Waterlot Farm, All on a summer's day, Up you get to the top of the trench Though you're sniped at all the way. If you've got a smoke helmet there You'd best put it on if you could, For the wood down by Waterlot Farm Is a bloody high wood. E.A. MacKintosh Lieutenant MacKintosh MC was wounded and gassed at High Wood in August 1916. He died on the 21st November 1917 at the battle of Cambrai just 24 years old.

Anneca Posted 26 March , 2012 Share Posted 26 March , 2012 This is an absolutely fantastic thread and can't understand why I didn't see it before. The images are brilliant and some very emotional. Thank you to those members who have contributed with their photos. It is a thread to which I will keep coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbillington Posted 14 April , 2012 Share Posted 14 April , 2012 Dear All This is a great thread and the talent out there is amazing. My offerings more form the heart than expertise One of the more "Assertive" (if that is the right word) memorials I have seen. But really gets across the suffering. The memorial at Mort Homme, Verdun. "They did not Pass" is the translation. Regards Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbillington Posted 14 April , 2012 Share Posted 14 April , 2012 Dear All And finally I took this one some years ago in the woods near Verdun. The spade head was just sat there (And I hope it still is) with light dappled through the trees. It was the first time I came across a battlefield remains and it was a strange experience that moved as much as the memorials. Almost as if an unmarked memorial to the missing fallen. Guy I have run out of photo load quota. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadog Posted 16 April , 2012 Share Posted 16 April , 2012 Guy this one was taken near the village of Douaumont and is “as seen” of material turned up by the workmen widening the forest rides. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
