Sad to report someone has vandalized the John McCrae Stele in Camiers, France. It's the site of the first iteration of No.3 Canadian General Hospital (McGill) which was a tent hospital just north of Etaples. Disappointing. Probably kids who, by the sw****ka scratched over his face, didn't even know which war it was.

Well, that was a hardship. Clients insisted on a nap this afternoon. I had to comply! 😀

What year is this again? Did I just step onto an Agatha Christie movie set?

This group of WWI buffs and Militaria collectors have been meeting in Flanders from all over the UK for about 40 years. Love the dress! Plus 4s, walking sticks, handlebar moustaches and hats. Very interesting group staying at Varlet Farm B & B in Wallemolen, Belgium. You never know who will turn up!

I've created a short walking tour on video from Wallemolen, Belgium in the NE of the Salient just in from Poelcapelle, to the Canadian memorial on Passchendaele Ridge.

I'm staying at Varlet Farm B & B, the first place I stayed on my very first trip to Flanders, where I bring clients, and where I've been staying for 20 years. Yikes! They continue to unearth artifacts here as they farm: a German shell 2 days ago.

Passchendaele farm fields and drainage ditches. Wrecked ditches and the wettest fall in many decades created the catastrophic conditions of the Passchendaele Battle.

Onto the Bornstraat and up toward the memorial at Crest Farm.

Approaching Gravenstafel Ridge, as I turn around and look back down the way I've just come, the hill is apparent. It's deceiving as it looks flat initially.
