    I worked with Ian a few years ago, amazing what him and his wife have done. I asked them to take some pictures of the memorial of a friends relative who died on active service. My friends family are from NZ and had never seen anything. Ian and Karen provided some great photos and I framed them and presented to my friend. He was overwhelmed and could not believe the length that Ian and Karen went to. My friends dad was over the moon and I far as I am aware the photos hang pride of place on the wall of their house. So a massive thank you comes from the Stirling Family in NZ, keep up the good work mate.

    That last post ceremony in Ypres is unreal, if you don’t tear up you don’t have a heart. Every European should visit these sites and understand how we got to where we are and put perspective on life.

    Thank you for posting this video. How to honour best all these young people's sacrifice? By laying down their lives for liberty, they set the base for the deep peace we are enjoying today. Let's not forget that peace and unity resulted from such huge a sacrifice. It is our task to keep peace and friendship, so that the dead may rest in places where freedom rings and peace prevails.

    History Underground sent me. Next time I get to Europe, I have to go and see the grave of Peter Daniel, killed in 1917.
    I am the custodian of his memorial plaque, certificate and facsimile letter from King George IV. Custodian, because when I am gone, hopefully another will keep the items and in turn keep Peter Daniel's name and his memory alive.
    I wonder if anyone will even remember me even 50 let alone 125 years and counting after I have gone?

    • @SandervkHistory
      @SandervkHistory  2 роки тому

      Thats awesome! You can private message Ian or Karen and maybe they have made a photo of his Grave allready. There will probably be someone who would take it over from you!
