Remembering both past and present; a newly crafted image for #RemembranceDay, and a timely nod of acknowledgment to the relentless, ongoing work of #eod #bombdisposal teams around the world. Belgium’s #dovosedee in these 2 pics, my respect to the EOD community at-large.

Not far from Tyne Cot Cemetery and the New Zealand Memorial in Zonnebeke a First World War ammunition dump with 80 live shells waw incovered. They included phosgene gas shells. Smoke but no harm. Some houses evacuated for a short period.

Faces of WW2.

Pensive, apprehensive, cheerful. Who knows their stories?

We cannot know - perhaps will never know - from photos so long separated from family.

But they are Everyman. And we should remember them, #RemembranceDay

[Ian Alderman @IAlderman]

Autumn, France & Belgium,#ironharvest time again. Year on year, thousands of unexploded #WW1 shells emerge from the ground. Also a consequence of every war fought since and likely those to come; the message of forward-looking @recoveringthepast #photoexhibition

@TommiesGuides @CWGC @FlandersWW1 @Westtoer You finally made it then!

[Ian Alderman @IAlderman]

Poignant display of original #WW1 grave markers at #Salisburycathedral Considering how many of these markers were originally made, I wonder how many survive today?
