Drewe's Tyne Cot Update

We visited Tyne Cot cemetery in Belgium today. It is one of the largest British War cemetery with around 11 000 buried soldiers. It has amazing architecture - there is a wall around the back to commemorate all the missing soldiers as well as a large Sword of Sacrifice in the center. The cemetery is very well kept with lovely flowers for the brave soldiers who fought in these wars. When in places like this I feel the soldiers bravery and fear they must have had while fighting in these places. I am in awe of all the people who fought for peace and freedom.

    Dear Drewe: it is truly wonderful for us to hear you and your fellow travellers talk about your experiences at these important historical monuments. What a tremendous opportunity this is for all...and I'm glad to know the teachers are still smiling:)
