We popped into St. Peter’s, Barnstaple today and discovered the Barnstaple Branch Old Contemptibles Association standard hung alongside the 6/Devons colours. Also in there were a number of private memorials to parishioners killed during The Great War. #ww1 #memory

In a damp secluded corner of this North Devon churchyard is listed the grief of one family’s war. None of them appear on the parish war memorial. #ww1 #memory

On 4th Nov. 1918 the poet Wilfred Owen was killed crossing the Sambre-Oise Canal, his last penned words, in a letter to his mother, said; "Of this I am certain you could not be visited by a band of friends half so fine as surround me here. Ever Wilfred X" #ww1 #WilfredOwen
