You can wear Daddy’s scarf, today. This Remembrance weekend, across the country fans are getting ready to watch their team. Here’s an illustration remembering all the footballers and football fans who fell, those who returned and those left behind. #ww1 #footballremembers

On 4th Nov. 1918 the poet Wilfred Owen was killed crossing the Sambre-Oise Canal, his last penned words, in a letter to his mother, said; "Of this I am certain you could not be visited by a band of friends half so fine as surround me here. Ever Wilfred X" #ww1 #WilfredOwen

In a damp secluded corner of this North Devon churchyard is listed the grief of one family’s war. None of them appear on the parish war memorial. #ww1 #memory

We popped into St. Peter’s, Barnstaple today and discovered the Barnstaple Branch Old Contemptibles Association standard hung alongside the 6/Devons colours. Also in there were a number of private memorials to parishioners killed during The Great War. #ww1 #memory

@gdmnw Thanks, Gareth, though these would have been @CWGC interns helping you to discover Tyne Cot. You may have been lucky enough to meet @AmyHarrison19, one of our alumni and was an intern in Ypres.

@UnlockingYpres Very impressed by your volunteers at Tyne Cot today. The tour transformed our visit from a quick walk around the cemetery to a meaningful and insightful experience.

2/Lt A C Young, R Ir Fus, died at Ypres #OTD in 1917: his father added a very moving inscription to his grave at Tyne Cot. #Passchendaele100
