OliverRewinding my lifeline back to July 2021, I (once again) visited Belgium and especially the region of Flanders where my interest in Flanders Fields was born years ago. Hill 60 was a low rise south-east of Ypres made from the soil removed in digging a cutting for the Ypres to Comines railway. It is told to had excellent views over both Ypres and Zillebeke, and was captured by the German army during the first Battle of Ypres in November 1914. On 17 April 1915, in one of the first tunnelling operations by the British Army, six mines exploded under Hill 60, which was then quickly captured with minimal casualties. <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/inflandersfields" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#inflandersfields</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/travellingthroughtheworld" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#travellingthroughtheworld</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/history" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/battleofmessines" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#battleofmessines</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/lestweforget" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#lestweforget</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/commonwealthwargraves" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#commonwealthwargraves</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/hill60" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#hill60</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/commonwealthwargravescommission" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#commonwealthwargravescommission</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/messines" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#messines</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/flandersfields" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#flandersfields</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/johnmccrae" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#johnmccrae</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/respect" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#respect</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/thanks" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#thanks</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/ig_belgium" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#ig_belgium</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/ypres" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#ypres</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/ieper" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#ieper</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/thegreatwar" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#thegreatwar</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/flanders" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#flanders</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/ww1" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#ww1</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/poppies" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#poppies</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/trench" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#trench</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/gravesite" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#gravesite</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/trenchwarfare" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#trenchwarfare</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/trench" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#trench</a>

roodI'm not going to judge you for your stance or understanding of Anzac Day. For the most part you'll get an automatic pass for choosing Mastodon. Importantly, I don't expect progressives to all land on the same page on a traumatic reminder of war. It is as it should be if many of us have wildly different stories to tell, and protests to make.I think that's the message I was taught by people that went through all that.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/LestWeForget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LestWeForget</a>

chestasI don't want to belittle those who have given their lives in wars.

Ken SWhat happens in Israel does affect Australians.It also affects what other foreign forces consider appropriate during ‘War’.Many Australians were protected by ‘Rules of War’ during WWI and WWII, among many other conflicts. We are currently witnessing the deterioration of those international rules. That… is bloody scary. What rules will remain when we enter the next world or regional war? <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AusPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusVotes2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AusVotes2025</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LestWeForget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LestWeForget</a>

rhtunstallHe was getting old and paunchy And his hair was falling fast, and he sat around the Legion, telling stories of the past. Of a war that he once fought in and the deeds that he had done, in his exploits with his buddies; they were heroes, every one. And 'tho sometimes to his neighbors his tales became a joke, all his buddies listened quietly for they knew where of he spoke. But we'll hear his tales no longer, for ol' Joe has passed away, and the world's a little poorer for a Veteran died today. He won't be mourned by many, just his children and his wife. For he lived an ordinary, very quiet sort of life. He held a job and raised a family, going quietly on his way; and the world won't note his passing, 'tho a Veteran died today. When politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in state, while thousands note their passing, and proclaim that they were great. Papers tell of their life stories-from the time that they were young, but the passing of a Veteran goes unnoticed, and unsung. Is the greatest contribution to the welfare of our land, some jerk who breaks his promise and cons his fellow man? Or the ordinary fellow who in times of war and strife, goes off to serve his country and offers up his life? The politician's stipend and the style in which he lives, are often disproportionate, to the service that he gives. While the ordinary Veteran, who offered up his all, is paid off with a medal and perhaps a pension, small. It is not the politicians with their compromise and ploys, who won for us the freedom that our country now enjoys. Should you find yourself in danger, with your enemies at hand, would you really want some cop-out, with his ever-waffling stand? Or would you want a Veteran, his home, his country, his kin, just a common Veteran, who would fight until the end. He was just a common Veteran, and his ranks are growing thin, but his presence should remind us we may need his likes again. For when countries are in conflict, we find the Veteran's part, is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start. If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise, then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days.
