The memorial is going to become the shrine for the Scots (and South Africans) who visit the Immortal Salient. _________________ Help Save Our Red Squirrels 4 wheels move the body, 2 wheels move the soul!

Is this going to be a problem with lots of laminated A4 tokens being left at the base? Is there going to be a need for a memorial garden like at the Commando Memorial near Spean Bridge? Adam p.s. Cracking photos Johan.

A walled enclosure such as at the Commando Memorial would keep all the tributes from blowing down into Zonnebeke. _________________ Help Save Our Red Squirrels 4 wheels move the body, 2 wheels move the soul!

To keep everything in place one needs to put stones on the wreaths, the tributes, etc. It may become a problem. Glad you like the new photo's. _________________ http://flower-of-scotland.skynetblogs.be/ Back to top DerekR Moderator Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 2758 Location: Hawick, Scotland Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2007 8:43 pm    Post subject: "On the Road to Passchendaele" Played by the following at the unveiling of the memorial and at the Zonnebeke tattoo afterwtards.
