November 2013

We visited Étaples Military Cemetery whilst in France during Remembrance Sunday.

At home I always attend the service and as we were away, I wanted to pay my respect to all those whatever nationality who have lost their lives in past wars.

The cemetery is one of the largest in the area and has thousands of graves spanning two world wars and those of several different nationalities are buried there.

It was a very moving experience and we were humbled by the enormity of the place. If you're in the area, it really is worth visiting and somehow it puts our lives and how we live them today into perspective.
