I have been visiting Ypres and the surrounding areas including Vimy, Arras, Albert since 1996.
My interest in the Great War stems from two Great Grandfathers, one of whom was wounded on the Somme the other killed almost a year after the war had ended. He was killed along with six of his comrades whilst reburying the dead into the Cemeteries that we know today. They had stopped work to boil water for their midday meal, the fire was lit and a shell exploded underneath them.
Pte Robert Alfred Eyre
There is always something special and sacred for me there, I am moved by this every time I visit Flanders Fields.
Lest We Forget!
