Here is a photo of me at the Khaki Chums Cross at St Yvon. My great-uncle was a member of 1st Royal Warwicks in Ploegsteert at the time of the Truce.

And here is another without the great-nephew on it. Both were taken yesterday morning (December 21st). Unfortunately couldn't quite arrange to be there on 25th itself!

Very poignant.

It makes you wonder what might have been had all the PBI just walked away from the madness.

Thanks Mark

Precisely. Believe me, once you see the faces of the people you have to fight, you see them as the humans they are and you do not want to kill them. Been there, done that.
