If this is the best that we can do.... then god help us. Standing on the golf course at Temple Newsham with a Kodak Instamatic taking a panorama across Leeds or the same at Tinshill top would be better than this pile of manure.Methinks people have tried to be too "creative"Agree with Drapesy, the grammar and spelling in the YEP is getting worse.

Hope you have a great time cnosni i have been to Nothern France about ten times.Never had the chance to visit First World War sites the trouble is when your with friends and they have no interest then your out voted.I have read lots of books about the First World War the more i read the more i wonder how any men made it back home. I know we seem to go on about the Second World War dont get me wrong i know what they went through but the First World War was something else one word springs to mind slaughter sorry to go on but its something thats close to my heart.

Pretty close to mine too.Brought up on WW2,because it was my parents generation.Since doing my Fam Hist ive learnt so much about WW1,basically because my Great Uncle was killed on the first day of the Somme,his brother was injured 6 weeks later then taken POW along with 26 others in July 1917.my maternal grandad was at Jutland on HMS Caroline (which still survives) and my paternal grandad was injured in France/Belgium then served in Palestine.Going to France really for the former (great uncle) as his name was recorded wrongly when he enlisted (Hoonan instead of Hoolan).Have contacted the Commonwealth War Graves with a case of evidence as to his true identity and am awaiting their reply.I know im right (big headed so and so),so im off to visit his grave and walk the battlefield south of Serre.I know im going to be choked when i see the cemeteries on the Serre road and the cemetery where he is buried.Just hope its sorted before i go,though i cant see them being able to alter his grave in time for April when i go.94 years and no one from his family has been to see him.That will soon be put right.

Hi cnosni i can see you have a family history to be proud of. I can say this the one cemetery i have seen was well looked after i have only seen one and i must say it was spotless in fact they were redoing the names on the head stones.I found the experience very moving i still cant get my head round the loss of so many men in some of the battles and for what a few hundred yards of ground we must never forget what we owe them.94 years but you remember and that makes all the difference.
