Battlefield Walks 2023 - Episode 6 - Remembrance

This episode we attend Remembrance Day in Ypres and lay a Wreath for Pte Richard Evans, the Great Grandfather of my wife. We later attend another service of remembrance at the Cafe De Dreve for the Hunter Brothers orchestrated by Johan Vandewelle.

It's good to see the traditions being honored. It's sad to see not many young people participating. Thank for posting this. According to my DNA test I'm 46% Scottish, 6% Irish and the rest Scandinavian

Thank you for your kind words and that's a fair mixture of DNA heritage "some Viking in there for sure", and with you saying Scottish and Irish it's a strong possibility that your family originated as part of the Viking migration, settling in Scotland and through to Ireland, there were plenty of young people around, cadets and school children but as part of the Poppy Parade I didn't get a chance to reflect that fully, but the street of Ypres were lined with applauding crowds which was a great measure of respect to witness, regards James
