WHITE ROSE DAY…
HAPPY YORKSHIRE DAY!
On 1 August 1759, British troops and their allies defeated the French at the battle of Minden.
After the battle, the British soldiers picked white roses and wore them as a tribute to their fallen comrades.
Since that day, a number of Yorkshire-based regiments have worn white roses on 1 August to commemorate the events of 1759 and all those from Yorkshire who have fallen in battle since.
Yorkshire is my adopted country.
I live here by choice and love it.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)
