A really interesting episode Paul spreading the word about the New Ypres League! I bump into Roger usually at Tyne Cot every tour I do and have done for a few years now, and I’ve been a member of the League almost since it’s launch. I’m looking forward to seeing how the Demarcation Stone project progresses.
As an aside I was attending the Dunblane Remembrance Sunday Parade last November and I was not the only one there wearing a League badge, the lad who was wearing it has never visited the Salient – yet.

Visited the Demarcation stone next to the still climbable Belgian OP in Stuivekenskerke. Went there with Alex Churchill on a trip focusing on Belgium 1914.
