#Remembrance looks a little different this year. Soldiers have mapped a walking route around Colchester, providing an alternative way to reflect. It takes in locations that highlight the sacrifices of war, the history of @16AirAssltBde and of Colchester. ow.ly/wts350C7gTM

#LestWeForget Whilst visiting home, in Pembrokeshire last week, I had to visit this lonely soldier who rests nearby and who is not forgotten. Next time, I’ll take some gardening tools and tidy up around his gravestone. #WW1 #FWW #Saundersfoot #Pembrokeshire
