LOFO's LET'S GO Ypres

[Grandma]

A sobering and thought provoking day which hadn't really hit me until I got home and had time to take in what  horror it must have been for all those soldiers on both sides. The scale of the death and destruction is apparent when you pass graveyard after graveyard and so many of the graves are unmarked.I don't consider myself a coward but I don't know if I could of gone over the top knowing that in all probability I would be mowed down by withering machine gun fire like many of those brave men did. Absolutely senseless tactics.  If you can even call them that.Feeling very humble.
I feel the same, very emotional when I went a few years back, absolute slaughter. Glad you all arrived home safely, off to Cassel tomorrow, not far from Ypres and hoping for better weather than you experienced.
