Guillemont Road cemetery this evening. It was a bright low sun and blue skies at the end of a bitterly cold day. Winters out here must have been a real trial during WW1.

One of the panels by Charles Sergeant Jagger on the Royal Artillery Memorial in London. They are true masterpieces. Sadly, they are becoming eroded away by the weather and pollution. They deserve to be preserved.
