Yesterday we were lucky enough to see a dedication service led by the Wounded Warrior Canada 🇨🇦 at the John McCrae Memorial plaque, Essex Farm A.D.S and Cemetery.

Rather nicely our customers were from Canada making it a rather special moment for them and for us.

The group are cycling along the Western Front and at some point will be visiting John’s resting place in Wimereux Cemetery.

We wish them luck!

German Trenches situated on the Messines & Wytschaete Ridge. To the French in 1914 known as Bois Quarante (Wood 40) and to the Belgians it was Croonaert Wood. Always an interesting place to guide and visit.

Iron Harvest: Today, an aerial bomb was found during work in the Kloosterbos in Wachtebeke, Lochristi. It was a bomb of approximately 250 pounds from the Second World War. 💣

As a precaution, a section of the R4 and E34 was temporarily closed. DOVO safely retrieved the bomb and transported it to the base in Poelkapelle. 👇

Our War Memorial in Poperinge looking resplendent this Sunday afternoon, the wreaths to the foot placed there from the four days of the Ijzer walk organised by the Belgian Army.

The boy on the left holding a branch of Laurel leaves up towards the soldier which symbolizes achievement, honour and victory. Whilst the young girl on the right holding a garland of flowers which might symbolize honour and welcome. It’s a beautiful memorial.

“Green Hell” (Victory Over Japan Day)

These are the men who shed their blood.
Amongst the filthy Burma mud;
On the Arakan front and Imphal Plain.
In blistering heat and bloody rain.

Later on, in years to come,
When you speak of battles fought and won.
Remember these men who fought so well.
And lived and died in this green hell.
