Anyone else touched by the fact that every evening since 1928, the Belgian town of Ypres have, off their own bat (ie not a state or army undertaking) paid tribute to the fallen men of the British Army and its then Empire who died at Passchendaele?
I've just been watching the BBC coverage. Some shocking statistics - did I hear this right - that of all the British men (and soldiers from all over the French, Belgian and British empire such as Nepal, India, Morroco to name but a few) who died in the first world war, one quarter of them died at Ypres
