5 April 2011


Nestled in your hollow shoulder - Yesterday whilst in Belgium I visited one of the many First World War Cemeteries. The one I went to was Butts New British Cemetery in Polygon Woods near Ieper. Now it is a very beautiful and serene place but you really cannot imagine what it was like there nearly a hundred years ago and how many young men lost their lives there. I picked this pine cone up in the woods just outside the cemetery as a reminder of what happened there.
