Ozzie Posted 29 November , 2006 Share Posted 29 November , 2006 This is one of these threads which pops up at irregular intervals on the forum. I can only say that it is a thread where one can spend a lot of time - you can admire the pictures, wonder at the weather and be envious of and happy for someone at the same time. Envious that I didn't take the picture .. and happy that someone did capture 'that' moment so well. It's been said before , worthy of a book. Or maybe even a 're-threading' with all the pictures and simple captions, dates and the photographer's feelings about the subject and their picture. Des, you hit the mark. A book. Any one willing?

Sbufkle Posted 14 December , 2006 Share Posted 14 December , 2006 I have been to Vimy Ridge in France in 98. But on the laptop dont have any of the pics.. However I wook these two last year in Ottawa at the National War memorial. The tomb of the unkonown soldier shown below, was an unknown taken from the Vimy Ridge cemetary itself.

Guest mruk Posted 14 December , 2006 Share Posted 14 December , 2006 I'm not a photographer, but I quite like this one I took in the Summer of the new memorial to the Leeds Pals and Leeds Rifles. This is outside the main Art Gallery on the Headrow. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might like to know that the Canadian Unknown Warrior was taken from Cabaret Rouge CWGC cemetery. Where once was an "unknown Canadian" headstone is now one of the usual CWGC headstones, but engraved with the story of the unknown, in English and French. Cabaret Rouge was such a favourite of the Head of the IWGC that he asked that his ashes should be scattered there after his death. There is a plaque to that effect at the entrance. There is also a newer addition....explaining that his wife is there too! Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montbrehain Posted 15 December , 2006 Share Posted 15 December , 2006 My favourite photo is 1 I took on my first ever visit to the Somme and the Front. My wife,Baby son and I were at Villers Brettoneux for dawn on ANZAC day 1987. I have been there many times since for dawn on the 25th of April (and not the nearest sunday when the service is usually held. Allthough I have attended those too. ) I have never seen another dawn like that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montbrehain Posted 3 January , 2007 Share Posted 3 January , 2007 Going through my old pics I came across these.In 1989 together with a mate I visited the Gallipoli peninsula. There wasnt the mass invasion that you get today . On the evening of the 24th of April we sat with a few others in the Ariburnu cemetery at ANZAC cove. We were not expecting one of those oft mentioned sunsets, but thats just what we got. I have never forgotten it and I have never been back.....

StAubyns Posted 5 January , 2007 Share Posted 5 January , 2007 I have attempted to take photographs of the glass in the South African Memorial,Delville Wood several times, never sucessfully. The glass, and the bronzes, are superb. regards Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
