Well, you mean drinking a bottle of Bailey's as you make a cheesecake 😋😂

Irish cream and chocolate cheesecake recipe The smooth, creamy Irish cream liqueur gives this no-bake cheesecake the wow factor. Top with grated chocolate and a dusting of cocoa.

Seems to be more & more apartments. Opposite here is the old Customs House that's being converted into luxury apartments

That's a lovely thing to have Chris. A way to connect, how many times must his hands been upon it shining his boots/shoes.I remember my grandad having a similar brush from WW2 & using it up until he sadly had to go into care, I inherited it but sadly it broke many years ago

On this day in 1918 my great uncle, Private Edgar Wood, was killed at Villers-Outreaux near Cambrai while fighting with the Welsh Regiment. He was 20 years old. He is buried in the tiny cemetery of Moulin-de-Pierre with 47 others who died that day.

“I’m alright, Mother, cheerio.”
The words selected for the epitaph of 22-year-old Lt Harold Hill, who was killed in an attack on the Passchendaele Ridge. Severely wounded, he was carried to a dressing station at Zonnebeke.

One of the things that first piqued my interest in the FWW was visiting CWGC cemeteries, and specifically, reading the personal inscriptions on the headstones. I haven’t been out to the WF in well over a year now and as I feel the ache of missing it, I wanted to share some old posts on the topic.

When you start a new research project for someone & the first thing you find is a photo!! #ww1

Any thoughts on the surname if it's clearer on the actual pictures?

Can anyone help Robert pointing him in the right direction for possible research

I trust that you've started on VDK site to see if he was a casualty? Failing that I'm not sure what German records survive, beyond my knowledge I'm afraid

Lovely day in Ypres
Looked around a certain well known book shop and came out with a Belgium railway lamp and chemin der fare watch - photo taken by a convenient WW1 railway sleeper!

Never admit that you know him, could get you into all sorts of trouble 😂😂

I guess they used the Hanoverian white horse on the headstone for an unknown Kingsman as I've definitely seen those & that's possibly why I'm getting confused

You're messing with my head now Tom! It says yes of course I've seen one but then my photo reel says dint think so!

Authuille Bridge - one of many bridges on the Albert to Arras line demolished in March 1918 as the Germans advance.
The red building seems to have survived the bridge demolition - looking at the date on the wall it was only built the year before!

Grandcourt Level Crossing on the Albert to Arras line today. Note the two buildings by the crossing were rebuilt in 1919 and different design to the originals (see old postcard)

Beacon Hill, Burghclere. Within the hillfort is the grave of the Fifth Earl of Carnarvon, who had co-discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun! #HillfortsWednesday

Finally got the opportunity to pay my respects today to GWR employee Thomas Edmund Simpson at Vignacourt Cemetery.
The circumstances of his death illustrates how, as on many occasions, luck and fate can deal an appalling hand
