For #ArmisticeDay, a view of Grootebeek British Cemetery, near Ouderdom (West Flanders, Belgium), from a trip last month

Almost at the end of a short stay in Ieper; which included walks from Zonnebeke to Sint-Juliaan, and from Reninghelst to Dikkebus

My view from the stalls ...

Back at the BBC Proms for some more Mahler ...

I'm in the stalls somewhere below you!

I was at the Last Post Ceremony the day before, but I was passing by Zillebeke Lake yesterday at 8pm, on my way back to the station

This is something that I have just read ...

I found a copy of the church cats book; what would be the easiest way to get it to you? I could drop it off somewhere in central London on one of my office days?

I did manage to find a few other mentions of Driver Howie in the British Newspaper Archive, including a death report in the Kilsyth Chronicle, 7 Sep 1917, and identical "in memoriam" entries in the Kilsyth Chronicle and the Kirkintilloch Gazette, 14 Sep 1917; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlec...

I'm not certain whether this helps that much with linking to the other records, but there is a "Howie, 7741, Dvr. D. A. (Glasgow)" in lists published in the Scotsman and in the Weekly Casualty List during September 1917; both via the British Newspaper Archive

This is Private Henry Augustus Riggs Day after his arrival in Ahmednagar

#onthisday in 1914, my grandfather departed Southampton for India on HMT Assaye with the 1/4th Battalion Dorsetshire Regiment; before he left, he sent a postcard of the ship to his younger brother.

A sunny afternoon in Bath ...

My journey to work this morning involved a cable car - amongst other forms of transport
