They must be a joy to plow!<br />Thanks so much for sharing this amazing place with us, dear Alice.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10597769.post-55286166001595250142009-07-25T21:48:06.292+10:002009-07-25T21:48:06.292+10:00It must have been a very emotional visit.

My parents never wanted to be reminded of the war years it was too distressing for them.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10597769.post-89149599800661456602009-07-25T20:04:17.951+10:002009-07-25T20:04:17.951+10:00How very sad.How very sad.Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/12641269043817163165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10597769.post-37092732085589126852009-07-25T17:16:45.840+10:002009-07-25T17:16:45.840+10:00What a moving tribute to all those young men who g...What a moving tribute to all those young men who gave their lives for our freedom, Alice.

I grew up in a completely destroyed country in a city where only 20 % of buildings were still standing. I was born in Germany in the middle of the war. That was enough military for me for my whole life.:=)Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.com
