#PicOfTheDay Nestled in the centre of #Ghent is #Gent City #Cemetery. It has local burials along side Commonwealth War Graves plots from both #WW1 & #WW2 where just over 200 men now stand easy. There are also #military plots of #German, #Italian, #French & #Belgium fallen amongst others.Hidden gem

109 years ago today tens of thousands of men poured from these tunnels as the battle of #Arras began. Nearly 7000 men would be dead by the end of the day. However as the weeks went on there were huge successes in gains & tactics still used today. Today we remember their sacrifice

#PicOfTheDay The #WarMemorial in the beautiful village & surroundings of #Buckland #Surrey. Unveiled in 1920 to honour the 7 men of the village who fell in #WW1, it was then added to & re-dedicated in November 1947 as the village lost a further 13 men in #WW2.

Heres wishing all our followers from #England, your families and friends a happy #StGeorgesDay!
