Day 3 (evening):

The final page of our Battlefields Experience, a private ceremony to honour the dead on behalf of the 10th Arbroath Pals.

An emotional, moving, and bonding experience for all involved, and a fantastic end to a special trip 🇧🇪

[AHSSocialSubjects @AHSSocSubs]

Day 3 (Evening):

2 bonus posts this evening, as we firstly gathered at the Menin Gate to lay a wreath on behalf of AHS.

Poppy, Eve and Finlay were fantastic, and the ceremony was incredibly moving for all.

[AHSSocialSubjects @AHSSocSubs]

Our final 2 stops of the afternoon were at Langemark, where we honoured the brave German soldiers who were so similar to the young Brits we have learned about, and then the town of Ypres, the focal point of the battles in the area. 3/3

Day 3: Our final day for the 10th Arbroath Pals Battalion.

First to Essex Farm, then Vancouver Corner to pay our respects to the brave Canadians who faced gas attacks.

Poelkapelle Cemetery was next, where we each honoured an unknown soldier with a poppy. A somber moment 1/2

[AHSSocialSubjects @AHSSocSubs]

Visiting the relatives of Finlay, David, Daisy and Adam today to pay our respects for their great sacrifice.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
