The QOR laid another wreath. It was most fitting and special for us that the Last Post was played while we were there.
We got the wreath from the War Graves Commission in Ieper.This blog is our personal travel site. Enough said for now. We'll refine stuff as we go. To begin we are heading to Europe and Normany.
