Day 5: We visited the trenches at Sanctuary Wood near Ypres. Pupils were shocked by the rawness of the conditions that soldiers had to endure. Summer R (S6) read Dulce et Decorum est at Vancouver corner where the first gas attack took place in the war. @LarbertHigh @S3LHSYT

Day 5: Our S3 pupils have arrived in Ypres, Belgium. This morning we visited Lijssenthoek military cemetery and No Man’s Cot cemetery. Every pupil received a remembrance cross and picked a soldier to lay their cross. Many picked 15 year old Donald Snaddon who died in 1916.
