Government regimented exercise for the day. Sunrise over Chester Meadows with low mist spilling onto the adjacent fields from the banks of The River Dee.
Was wonderful to hear and see the Clap for Carers last night but unfortunately the message still isn't getting through for a limited number of selfish people. 6-7% apparently is the figure.
One of my neighbours who has an immune compromised child still thinks it's okay to socialise in groups outside of their own home.
The sheer selfishness of some people is staggering.
Stay safe all.

The Canadian 2nd Infantry Division liberated the several hunderd inhabitants that were still there on 12 April, 1945. The first soldiers to the camp were from the 8th Reconnaissance Regiment, followed by troops of the South Saskatchewan Regiment.
Following its use in World War II, the Westerbork camp was first used as a penalty camp for alleged and acussed Nazi collaborators and later housed Dutch nationals who fled the former Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). Between 1950-1970 the camp was renamed to Kamp Schattenberg and used to house refugees from the Maluku Islands.

"Después de que el capitán Morris de los 'Canadian Scotts' se hubiese reunido con Van As, el canadiense se dirigió a los prisioneros liberados. El texto lo había escrito en estilo telegrama en un papel, era una combinación de inglés y medio holandés. Debido a ello, y como consecuencia de la prisa en que lo había escrito, el texto es ahora difícil de leer y poco descifrable.
Según algunos testigos, a pesar de la gravedad de las noticias -'war it's not over yet' (la guerra aún no ha terminado)- fue algo realmente cómico".

A picture that's hopefully appropriate for today, D-Day80 - it's the memorial to the Parachute Regiment at the National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire.
The emblem of the Airborne Forces is Bellerophon mounted on the winged horse Pegasus which features in the design of this memorial. There is also a figure of a paratrooper pulling in his bergen. The memorial sculptors are Charlie Langton for Pegasus and Mark Jackson, a former Major of the Parachute Regiment, for the human figures.
Two Afghan National Army soldiers rest atop a berm at Observation Post Huskars in Helmand province, Jan. 14. The Marines and sailors of Alpha and Weapons Companies, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment and attachments from 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, have moved deeper into Helmand province in order to limit the Taliban’s control over the area, by having a more prominent coalition force presence in the region.
Like soldiers invading a beach front, these iron pilings are planted on the shallow area of Lake Michigan, presumably to buffer the strong waves that hit the beach during windy days.
This is a new memorial located beside the busy A96 at Baxters Food, Fochabers. The memorial is impressive with a stag, a thistle and a crown, and it has an inscription; “In honour of The Regiment, THE HIGHLANDERS (Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons)
17th Sep 1994 – 28th March 2006.
In memory of all those who lost their lives on operational service. We will remember them"
The 29th Scottish Regiment, "Enemy kens me naught" was drafted from Aberdeen and intended to carry out scouting missions and front line aid to other battalions.

Inside this little room are the war memorials to the various regiments of Worcester. It was interesting to read them and I sat for a wee moment to look at the flags etc. I took a few pictures of the different plaques I will post them in due course.
The Royal Corrington Household Cavalry consists of three regiments of Calvary.
The second of these is the 2nd Regiment of Life Guards; more commonly referred to as the 'Blood Guards' on account of their unusually dark red uniform jackets. Mounted exclusively on large black horses, these troopers have a reputation of stubborn ferocity and bloody ruthlessness. A company of Crimson Guards has just disembarked in Port Woodhouse, the first Household Calvary to be dispatched to the new world. Here they will acclimatise before being deployed to the New Haven Sea theatre for operations against the Lotii.
Some Cavalry troopers I put together for an upcoming MOC. I'm thinking of doing a whole series of small scenes like this depicting different types of Corlander troops.

A relic from the battles fought around the small French village of Fromelles during WWI. I think the helmet crest is for a Bavarian regiment.It is on display at the excellent Battle of Fromelles Museum after laying buried for almost a century.

Quite the vivid description! The 126th Infantry Regiment is a Michigan-based infantry unit established in 1855. It was sent to France in WW1 at first for supply missions, but quickly got called into battle. August was one of 15 officers and 335 men in battles near Marne. The "undone" nature of the emerging headstone probably is a Christian symbol denoting his early death and that he had more work to do in his life. Trinity Cemetery, Manistee, Michigan.
On one of the graves at Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery. Every grave had the symbol of the regiment the hero was from. They were so impressive.
The image is all about light; the photo about design, war, mortality... This is not the first time I've tried to photograph this tombstone, and it may not be the last.

The 23rd Regiment Armory is a historic National Guard armory building located at 1322 Bedford Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Street in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City.
It was built in 1891-95 and was designed in the Romanesque Revival style by Fowler & Hough, local Brooklyn architects, and Isaac Perry, the architect for New York State, which financed the construction.
The building is a brick and stone castle-like structure designed to be reminiscent of medieval military structures in Europe. It consists of a three-story administration building with an attached drill shed. It is constructed of deep red pressed brick, brownish red Potsdam stone, and red terra cotta detail. It features a series of circular corner towers, the tallest of which is 136 feet in height.
In 1923, the building was rented by William Randolph Hearst for use as studio space for his Cosmopolitan Productions after the company's own facilities were destroyed by a fire on February 19, 1923.
The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1977, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Currently, the building is used as a men's homeless shelter under New York City's Department of Homeless Services.
