The Munster memorial today, behind the cathedral in #Ypres. The contribution of Irish soldiers in #WW1 is often forgotten. #Ireland #Cork

Guillemont Road cemetery this evening. It was a bright low sun and blue skies at the end of a bitterly cold day. Winters out here must have been a real trial during WW1.

One of the panels by Charles Sergeant Jagger on the Royal Artillery Memorial in London. They are true masterpieces. Sadly, they are becoming eroded away by the weather and pollution. They deserve to be preserved. #WW1

Authuille Cemetery. It is in a wonderfully tranquil spot, just above the site of Black Horse Bridge, a major crossing point over the Ancre for troops moving up to the front around Thiepval. The bridge is mentioned in many accounts. #Somme #WW1 #authuille
