Newfoundland Memorial Park, Beaumont Hamel, France.
During the First World War, Newfoundland was a largely rural Dominion of the British Empire with a population of 240,000, and not yet part of Canada. The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 led the Government of Newfoundland to recruit a force for service with the British Army. Even though the island had not possessed any formal military organization since 1870, enough men soon volunteered that an entire battalion was formed, and later maintained throughout the war. The regiment trained at various locations in the United Kingdom and increased from an initial contingent of 500 men to full battalion strength of 1,000 men, before being deployed.
01/07/1916 The Somme.
At 8:45 a.m. the Newfoundland Regiment and 1st Battalion of the Essex Regiment received orders to move forward. The Newfoundland Regiment was situated at St. John's Road, a support trench 250 yards (230 m) behind the British forward line and out of sight of the enemy. Movement forward through the communication trenches was not possible because they were congested with dead and wounded men and under shell fire.
Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Lovell Hadow, the battalion commander, decided to move immediately into attack formation and advance across the surface, which involved first navigating through the British barbed wire defences. As they breasted the skyline behind the British first line, they were effectively the only troops moving on the battlefield and clearly visible to the German defenders.
Subjected to the full force of the 119th (Reserve) Infantry Regiment, most of the Newfoundland Regiment who had started forward were dead, dying or wounded within 15 to 20 minutes of leaving St. John's Road trench. Most reached no further than the Danger Tree, a skeleton of a tree that lay in No Man's Land that was being utilized as a landmark.
So far as can be ascertained, 22 officers and 758 other ranks were directly involved in the advance. Of these, all the officers and slightly under 658 other ranks became casualties. Of the 780 men who went forward only about 110 survived unscathed, of whom only 68 were available for roll call the following day. For all intents and purposes the Newfoundland Regiment had been wiped out, the unit as a whole having suffered a casualty rate of approximately 80%. The only unit to suffer greater casualties during the attack was the 10th Battalion of the West Yorkshire Regiment, attacking west of Fricourt village.

The Celtic Manor Resort, Coldra Wood, The Usk Valley, Chepstow Road, Newport (Casnewydd), Wales (Cymru), on Tuesday 19th of August 2014.
About this photograph.
My best friend and I stayed at the Celtic Manor Resort for a couple of nights, we had a room on the south-east side of the building, where we can see the M4 motorway, and also from our room, we could see the flag pole in the grounds of the resort.
On that day, there was a breeze, or just more than a breeze, enough to get this flag waving, and I decided to take as many shots of it as I can.
This is the national flag of Wales, or in their Welsh language: Baner Cymru. it is often called Y Ddraig Goch, meaning the red dragon.
It is described as a red dragon passant on a white and green field.
For details about the flag, see About the overall subject.

About the flag.
Baner Cymru or Y Ddraig Goch is the national flag for Wales.
To be clear, Baner Cymru is the national flag for Wales, just like the St George’s Cross is the national flag for England, and the St Andrew’s Cross is the national flag for Scotland. Somewhat akin to each American states having their own flags.
The Union Flag (also known as The Union Jack) is the national flag for the United Kingdom of Great Britain as whole, in a similar way as the Stars and Strips is for the whole of America.
The red dragon is said to imply the fearlessness of the Welsh nation, and dates back to as far as around 600 CE to 800 CE.
The modern flag design was adopted in 1953.
About Celtic Manor Resort.
The Celtic Manor Resort is a leisure hotel and resort, with spa and golf range, just outside of Newport (Casnewydd), in South Wales.
A manor house was built nearby in around 1860s, and was used as a hospital between 1930s to 1975.
The Manor House was bought in 1980s and went through redevelopment. A hotel was built, and later in the 1990s, a 400-room resort hotel was completed.

I didn't know whether to post this. Tried several times and changed my mind. I went online and researched flag etiquette. This image is not intended to be disrespectful to the American Flag. I found this little flag washed up on my favourite beach after a recent storm. It is my most interesting beach find yet. We live 20 miles from Washington State, across the Juan de Fuca Strait. I gazed at this flag for awhile and wondered what story it could tell. Where did it originate? How far did it come? After this shot I rescued it and it now occupies a place in my photo room.

I see more state flags flown in Texas than any other state that I've visited. That's pretty cool. This US Flag and Texas Flag are both very large. They're located in front of the Taste of Texas Restaurant next to the Katy Freeway (I-10) in Houston. To gain some perspective, those are the tops of trees at the bottom of the frame. (Excellent restaurant, by the way).

On the second day of my India adventure, I took a hike up to Flag Hill, where Tibetans have strung flags that have verses from their holy scripture. It was a breathtaking sight to see, the flags gently fluttering in close proximity. I took many great pictures of the flags.
What do you guys think?
Finalement emporter un petit drapeau de chaque pays du monde était une bonne idée : après tout, de nombreuses nations n'avaient jamais vu leurs couleurs dans l'espace - et maintenant si 😊 On les a suspendus au plafond, ça donnait un petit côté trek au Népal – mais encore plus haut ;) J'ai commencé à regretter ma décision quand il a fallu les ranger... Ils sont tous accrochés sur un long ruban et la première chose que font les cordes, câbles, ficelles, rubans, etc dans l'espace ? Ils s'emmêlent évidemment – pire que les câbles d'écouteurs sur Terre ! Mark et Shane ont été obligés de venir à ma rescousse 😅
It seemed like taking with me a tiny flag of every single country in the world was a good idea – after all, lots of countries hadn’t been to space yet, now they have – I regretted my decision slightly when I had to repack them… they’re all strung together on a cord, which in space automatically turns into a big old bag of knots… Mark and Shane had to rescue me!

CN A43291 25, or as local railfan Carl Bailey called it the "A432 from Hell," is blue-flagged north of Carbondale, Illinois on Canadian National's Centralia Subdivision with an insane consist. Two of the trailing units ran into engine issues, so they're stopped here as some mechanical guys from Centralia work on the units.
If that didn't already suck, the train would later stall at Cobden hill and they had to "double over" by running their first 50 cars over the hill and then running the rest over because the only online units were the "Death Star" ones. They eventually put the train back together at South Anna and had greens down to Mounds/Cairo to work the evening away.

many of my winter neighbors are Canadian. Some couples are Canadian and USA. Here is a possible flag for those who feel these nations should be joined as one.

She goes by the name of "That Blonde" on Facebook. She is truly
a fantastic singer that sings all the Patriotic Anthems. She does a great job leading the proceedings each year on the Fourth of July with her two co-singers. They all have been doing it here in Saint Augustine's center square for 30 years with a full orchestra behind them: The All-Star Orchestra. Everyone loves them for their loyal gift to our country through song, and they do a fantastic job with their ever-amazing upbeat enthusiasm as you will see in the pictures that I post of them here. Go check them out if you get a chance, you know when and where they'll be! God Bless the U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
