Chris and I went to a little village called Litton, where there is a huge church. To the back is a little graveyard, with a few grave stones, some very old. Before we went in to take some pictures, we read a plaque on the wall of a building next to the grave yard,, it said ’’The children who died in Litton Mill are buried without Tombstones in this section of the churchyard’‘ This is so sad, they were pauper and orphaned children and were treated very badly. They were brought here from as far away as London, and had to then work in dreadful conditions, for long, long hours with very little food and when they died they were buried without tombstones, so that no one would know how badly they had been treated and also how they died, hiding the truth about what went on. / I thought it would be a nice tribute to them, to make a picture from various photos I took in the graveyard,,and place little Poppies around in their memory,, poor little children..I hope you like it.. Sophie Shapiro has shared this poem with us,,it’s beautiful and sad,,at the same time x WE’RE ALIKE, YOU AND I / We’re alike, you and I. / We’ve never met / Our faces would be those of strangers if we met / We would barely perceive the other’s presence / If we passed on our walk through the mists / We’re unknown to each other / Until the terrible words have been spoken / “MY CHILD DIED” We’re alike, you and I / We measure time in seconds and eternities / We try to go forward to yesterday / Tomorrows are for the whole people, / And we are incomplete now / The tears after a time turn inward / To become invisible to all save you and me / Our souls are rumpled from wrestling with demons. / And doubts and unanswerable prayers. / “GIVE ME BACK MY CHILD” We’re alike, you and I. / The tears that run down your face are my tears / And the wound in your soul is my pain too. / We need time, but time is our enemy / For it carries us farther and farther / From our lost child / And we cry out; / “HELP ME” We’re alike, you and I. / And we need each other / Don’t turn away, but give me your hand / And for a time we can cease to be strangers / And become what we truly are, / A family closer than blood. / United by a bond that was forced upon us—- / But a bond that can make us stronger, / Still wounded and not to sure, / But stronger for our sorrows are shared. / “WE NEED NOT WALK ALONE” / Written by Judy Dickey* Thank you Sophie x

“Forget me not,” I whispered, / as I softly kissed her cheek, / “my heart is just a flicker, / as a candle going weak.” Poem by Clyde Hady Thank you so much to all of you who voted this picture in the FORGET-ME-NOT challenge helping me to reach the second place! Love you all!

Two days of the year Lezay comes out to Thank and Remember family members and friends who lost their lives during the Great War – today the 11th November 2008 the orchestra marched and Les Anciens carried their flags and Flowers and the school children joined the parade with flowers and words of commemoration to say… May 8th is another day in the Calander…....Liberation Day… This is the soldier that stands in the middle of Lezay to commemorate the war to end all wars! Living here in France brings it just that little bit closer to home – how it must have been and how the countryfolk lived…..last night there was a documentary about Albert Kahn and his colour photos of the great war – seeing them made us realise just how awful life would have been for the people here in the middle of it all…. I would like to share this with you – My daughter Chloé came home from Lycée today and said that they had to write a prose as if they are talking to the object or person this is her translation into English from French she is worried it will not make sense so I have also posted in a Journal in both languages I think it fits this photo and is our first Collaboration of which I hope we have more :) Untitled / Oh War, you are the enemy of mothers, / you take our brothers, our sons and our loved ones, / you destroy the countryside, which echoes / with the cries of soldiers,and nobody understands / what you are doing here, / we have had enough already, / don’t you think so? / We lose our lives,our spirits,our reason for living / because who wants to live after seeing / the horror in the fields / the blood which runs / like a river who never stops, / brothers massacred, who will never again wake up. / You bring death upon us, with your malicious spirit, / to see a woman dissolve in tears, / that pleases your vicious mind / who is overjoyed to see / our men trembling, who know that soon / they will die. by Chloe May Smith 12 November 2008 / Chloe’s Work Featured on the Home Page 11 November ‘09 / featured in Images with Words Jan 09 / featured in Statues and Such Nov 08 taken on canon 400d using sigma lens on full zoom at 300mm on P program

Now why didn’t this take off? Why are we not all driving an Eshelman? I mean just imagine the Eshelman Grande Turismo… Dare to dream… I was just reading that Mr Eshelman used to offer customised Chev Corvairs off the showroom floor until he was stopped by Chevrolet… Quite a character who only passed away not so long ago in Florida.

The Summer of 69 was quite a bittersweet time…. / Here in the USA, 500,000 people celebrated Peace & Love for 3 days at the Woodstock Music Festival…..Half a world away, in Viet Nam, almost that many soldiers were fighting in a conflict that caused unprecedented controversy in our country. / Many served…..many died…many became prisoners and many are still missing to this day. / This design was created to honor them all….lest we forget the sacrifices they made for our freedom…. Inspired by my good friend, KJ Gordon Some Gave All-Billy Ray Cyrus / Vietnam Song-Country Joe & the Fish

The Ballarat Avenue of Honour is significant as the earliest known memorial avenue to have been planted in Victoria, and appears to have stimulated similar plantings throughout Victoria in the years 1917 to 1921. They predominate in Victoria with the greatest concentration in the Central Highlands around Ballarat. These avenues represent a new egalitarian approach in the commemoration of soldiers where service rank was not a consideration and are illustrative of a peculiarly Australian, populist and vernacular response to the experience of the First World War. They had declined in popularity as a means of commemoration by the time of the Second World War (Criterion A.4) The Ballarat Avenue is the longest avenue of honour in Australia and, composed of exotic trees planted along a major road, is a dominant landscape feature in the low farming country with a powerful social message. The Avenue of Honour is located along the Ballarat Burrumbeet Road (former Western Highway) approximately 4 kilometres north west of the Ballarat City Centre. The Avenue is presently comprised of a total of 3,332 trees, and covers a distance of approximately 22km in length. It begins at the Arch of Victory in Alfredton, runs westward to Lake Burrumbeet where it changes direction and heads north, crossing the Western Freeway Bypass and continuing along Avenue Road to Weatherboard Learmonth Road. It is a continuous Avenue except where the Western Freeway Bypass has recently been constructed across it, and just south of this point where only a single row of trees lines the road on the east side. Arch of Victory Unveiled 2nd June 1920 / The result of a great deal of work by the girls employed by E Lucas and Co., who raised the money required to build the Arch. / The foundation stone was laid on the 7th February 1920 by General Sir William Birdwood and the Arch was opened on the 2nd of June 1920 by the Prince of Wales. The Arch is made of bricks, cement rendered. On sunday 13th March 1938, Mr S Walker, President of the Ballarat RSSIA unveiled the Temple of Remembrance which is situated at the entrance of the Avenue of Honour. The temple houses a Book of Remembrance which contains a number of steel sheets upon which have been inscribed the names of every person in whose honour a tree has been planted in the Avenue. On the 7th of November 1954, Lieutenant General Sir Leslie Morshead unveiled two tablets to acknowledge the services of the men and women from Ballarat in the 1939 – 1945 war.
