Mission Accomplished

[trailertrash Profile Private message]

In June of this year 4 old comrades were discussing how nice it would be to be on parade at the Menin Gate on the 1th of November 2014. Given that we're [ most of us ] in our 70's now, we wondered if we could actually pull it off. So we set about planning the trip. One of our number wanted to find a long lost relative who died in Flanders in 1916, so we had our mission and target.
Our planning culminated in us leaving home on the 8th of November, ' In Search of James '.

This show is a small part of the adventure we had. Perhaps you'd like to come along with us. Just click the link.

Andrew,
That was beautiful. Thank you for taking us along your journey. But more importantly, thank you and your fellow comrades for your service. I still get teary-eyed when looking upon rows and rows of memorials.

Hugs, Stephanie

Nicely done story Andrew! I liked the use of the book and page flips. That must have been a very emotional trip. Thank you and your comrades for your service!
