Hello Terry, You've meet Robert SNICK on 2022, Ypres.He was a very good fellow, a very good friend. He passed away on the end of May 2026, 99 years old
Amazing. Someone who has achieved so much and is so busy but has no ego and has time to help others. Incredible...

I keep reading and hearing about people calling themselves battlefield “experts” and claiming to know “everything” about Arnhem, Normandy, #Somme…How do they know they know everything? The subject is so vast. I learn new stuff every day. I have no idea how much I don’t know.
I am delivering 11 talks between now and Remembrance Day. This is one of them. My Grandparents are buried in the churchyard.
My Grandfather, Tom Bowles, served this church and village for many decades. My Mum saw this Lancaster crash close to the village when she was 7…#ww1
Why my battlefield guiding is all about raising funds for this wonderful charity.
This October, we mark 25 years since British Armed Forces first deployed to Afghanistan. As the Army’s national charity, we recognise their service, remember the sacrifice, and reflect on the lasting legacy of a campaign that affected thousands of military personnel, and their families, in the UK and overseas.
Although military operations have ended, the impact of the Afghanistan conflict continues to be felt by veterans and families today, and the ABF is and will remain steadfast in its support for all of those who are in hardship or need.
Today we're sharing Mark's story. Mark was shot in the neck while serving in Afghanistan, leaving him with devastating injuries. Despite the predictions of his doctors, Mark was determined to overcome his injuries and learn to walk again. Today, Mark has achieved his goal of walking again, and is a passionate fundraiser for our charity.

Eddie Latheron photographed with his Blackburn Rovers teammates during the 1914/15 season. A prolific inside-forward capped twice by England, Latheron made more than 280 senior appearances for Rovers and scored over one hundred goals. He was killed in action on this day in 1917.
