An impressive video, thank you for sharing

I liked it too, it was taken somewhere in the region of the Somme. At 7:30 in the video, you see a sign which stated Pionier Park Ecoust- St-mein, this park was located some 10Km,s from the starting frontlines of the Battle of the Somme, on the 1st of July 1916. (9km's NNE of Bapaume)

Pictures of a visit to the Battlefields around Ypres, with older photo's of how things looked like during the war.
I haven't visited Ypres for quite some time now, I'm planning a trip again, soon.

An amazing tribute to cats and their interaction with humanity even in the worse conditions. No wonder the Egyptians were buried with them!

Thanks Bruno, I have 2 cats myself, in fact, I grew up with cats, so you can say I'm a cat guy. Nice picture by the way!

I know! Life is better with bikes and cats. Unfortunately, I cannot own a cat since I travel far too much.

A beautiful version of the famous poem, written by Captain John Mc Crea, in 1915.
I visited the site were his regimental aid post was many times, at Essex Farm cemetary near Ypres.

I hope you all enjoy this version.
