WW1 Battlefields VII
The final photo in my Battlefields series epitomises the atmosphere experienced in many of the memorials found. The countless white crosses, each marking a life lost. This the view of the Notre Dame de Lorette cemetery as seen from the Basilicas accompanying tower. [Taken: 11th April 2001]

WW1 Battlefields VI
The 'preserved' trenches found at Sanctuary Wood Museum. These may, or may not be, the exact original trenches from the Frist World War, however they give a great insight to the conditions that many men spent several years living and dying in. [Taken: 9th April 2001]

WW1 Battlefields I
This is my first photo in a series this week depicting Battlefields in France and Belgium. All were taken on a school trip almost eight years ago, and all are rather amateurish (especially since being taken with a simple 35 mm disposable camera). However, I felt compelled to share them. This is Tyne Cot Cemetery in Belgium, the resting place of 11,954 soldiers, the majority of which are British. [Taken: 9th April 2001]
