100 years ago, the British guns opened up on the Somme

..... Time to remember and never repeat

 

There's a group going from my hometown to Serre at the weekend; I so wish I'd joined up to go.

I think everyone, regardless of interest in WW1 should take the time to remember this coming week, especially the folk like us in Northern towns who had bands of 'Pals' go out never to return. Here is a good place to start; documentary from the 80's with plenty of Barnsley references. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEZdlLBiA-A

I will be deep in thought next Friday at 7.30am
