Morning Mists Over Trenches
Our day begins amidst the preserved trenches a labyrinth of mud and memories near Ypres Stepping into these earthen corridors the air feels heavy with history The duckboards underfoot the rusted wire the ghostly outlines of dugouts they whisper of the young soldiers who once waited here in damp silence for a whistle that would send them over the top This tangible connection is profound moving beyond any textbook account
