Christmas at the Menin Gate


Recommended Posts

I've been extremely tardy with posting snaps for some time. So, I thought I'd share this view of the Menin Gate from last Saturday. We had a good day, not really on the WW1 trail as such; but we stopped off to pay our respects to my Uncle Les and had nice sunny weather there. Then the clouds closed in and it turned to a real dousing later on. But Ypres, or Ieper - you choose; is a magical place.

Same here. We hadn't been out since May and I haven't been Ieper itself since 2007. Bad. I'm spending a lot of time on the Somme these days and will be out there for a week in April. I'm also in Flanders on and off and will be on other missions in the Spring. Lots on. Sod the exchange rate!
