Jen - what an amazing job you have done finding details for everybody on your list.  The photos you have posted so far are wonderful.

You are probably back in Cumbria now - hope you had a safe journey and managed to find enough time for your essential supplies of wine and olive oil  ;D

As has already been said....... you are a STAR  8)

Hello,

Just letting you know that I am home and will carry on with posting photographs as soon as I can but it might be tomorrow before I get round to re-sizing and sorting all the photographs.

I had an amazing time and bizarrely, absolutely loved it. It was incredibly emotional, as several of you said it would be, but it is someting I have wanted to do and having been, I now want to go back to see more.

Your thanks are unnecessary - I feel priveleged to have been able to go and to visit all these places and somewhat humbled by the whole experience.

Here is another one from Lijssenthoek, though all the cemeteries have one of these.

When we left Lijssenthoek, with promises to myself and to my great uncle that we will be back, we headed into Poperinge. It was not a town which I knew much about before planning this trip but I knew that I wanted to visit the Talbot House Museum.

Talbot House was a place in which many soldiers must have found a temporary haven of peace and the museum is an absolute must for anyone visiting the area. And one of the most important aspects is the sentiment expressed on this floorboard.
