My granddaughter is now doing a project for her 5th grade class. I am doing some research. These photos bring some reality to the whole sad mess.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00385619814096259442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949481753906338354.post-37545650746443247672012-07-15T12:21:34.868-04:002012-07-15T12:21:34.868-04:00Nope, no personal connection—I simply admired and ...Nope, no personal connection—I simply admired and enjoyed the sim. :)Ziki Questihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655751928259820128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949481753906338354.post-77324730089304282522012-06-29T22:26:16.839-04:002012-06-29T22:26:16.839-04:00Well Done!My question Ziki is, why Ypres?

My grandfather's brother was a Medical Officer for the 10th Canadian Battalion and was killed by a bomb outside the aid station where he served by a bomb dropped out of an 'aeroplane'. I have done a lot of research on the 2nd battle of Ypres and would love dearly love to visit the area.<br /><br />Again, KudosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949481753906338354.post-31277703162655180632012-05-05T09:04:15.705-04:002012-05-05T09:04:15.705-04:00Hi Alec.
