Even the dogs have heard the last post at Ypres several times.....<br />Geoff also went on his own once (with Tilly) tracing the routes and battle places of his grandad, who went over in the war in charge of the horses. All very emotional and moving. I remember having some 'lovely' walks in the forests around Verdun - hitting the trails that most visitors don't walk.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248803199955466222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-72799164284700500702016-07-09T22:46:36.269+01:002016-07-09T22:46:36.269+01:00That sounds like a grand project, Mike.

He waa involved in the campaign at Monte Cassino and was also at Dunkirk, amongst other things. I believe he drove 'ducks'. He never spoke about it. I think it would be quite an experience, to go and stand and march where your grandads did.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-8298728164543577892016-07-09T06:02:45.661+01:002016-07-09T06:02:45.661+01:00Go for it Mike.Go for it Mike.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09839157927650251268noreply@blogger.com
