100 Years Ago - before America sent its army to join the Great War, an American, Charles Hartley, joined the Coldstream Guards and fought with the British. He survived some of the worst trench warfare ever - including Passchendaele - but was killed during the Battle of Cambrai. He was 20 years-old.
In France and Belgium, the people have not forgotten the sacrifices made by the British and the Americans who fought in their ranks.
The Somme Battlefield Pipeband is all French. They were a huge part of the centenary commemoration of the Battle of Cambrai. They played at ceremonies all day long and their music brought us all together; French, British, German, American. I hope this shot captures some of this spirit.
Merry Christmas and Peace to All!
Many thanks to Ed Nef, Doug Hartley and the Ed Nef Foundation.
