We are sorry we have been unable to post any photos but we have had wifi problems in the Flanders hostel.
Our 2 days here have been very busy with visiting sites, museums and cemeteries. A number of staff and students have presented their research into diggers and it has been very moving.
We are just home from the Menin Gate ceremony in Ypres and it was a very emotional event. The wreath was laid on behalf of the College, Grafton and the Clarence Valley by Madeleine Short, Barnard Howard and Carol Toms. We met representatives from the Ypres Rotary Club, who also help organise the ceremony, and they asked Caitlin Nash to read the Ode of Rememberance, this is a very rare honour.
We are all very tired but well and in good spirits. Tomorrow we head to Saint Quentin and the Somme and prepare for ANZAC Day.
Hopefully we will have better wifi there.
