@DebsaDelight New Zealanders are also available online, but South African records a bit sparse in my experience.

@DebsaDelight @DailyPicTheme2 One of my earliest visits to Formby. Good memories.

@Blanch6144 Thanks, David.

@Blanch6144 I was there on a Leger Tour a couple of weeks ago. Are we talking about the Caterpillar Crater mine?

@DebsaDelight Thought about Fingringhoe several times recently, although no clue why. Maybe a visit may be in order?

[Colin Chamberlain @CJinPowys]

@Blanch6144 Just a thought. Were these tunnels an original guardhouse location for defence of the Lille Gate, reutilised?

@HistoryandMoore @AngliaTours @StadIeper @ToerismeIeper @hoogecrater Looks like the trench system at the Hooge Crater Museum.

@DebsaDelight ...and looks like my mum at that age.🙂

@TrenchTrotter Nice walk from the centre of Ypres. Visited there on behalf of a friend several years ago.

@FlandersBTour As an aside, I've never heard of a 'bimble'. Isn't the English language fascinating!

At St Gwrin, Llanwrin, Powys.

@1418research Similar feeling, I imagine, to taking early retirement. I 'retired' at 57 and have never looked back!

[Colin Chamberlain @CJinPowys]

@Blanch6144 @1418research I noticed whilst researching certain burials in Etaples Military Cemetery that there were officers burials in one row and other ranks in other rows. Whether this was 'discriminatory' or just because of how the deceased arrived for burial, I don't know.
