Stunning work. My kind of music too.

Thank you. Thats very kind.

I recently visited the village of Oradour Sur Glane nr Limoges in France. The scene of one of the most infamous horrors of WWll. Its not a place to be a photographer or even a tourist. You can only be a witness. It doesn't lend itself to creativity in the presentation. All you can do is watch as time marches on.

Thank you to ' AleAle 5025 for allowing the use of the template. I have given credit in the final slide so hope I have observed the proper protocols.

Annually in Scotland there is a memorial event in the City of Edinburgh to mark the American Servicemen and Women of Scottish Heritage who fought and died under the American Flag during both World Wars.

On the 2nd of April, the Scottish and Northern Irish Yeomanry [ Scotland's reserve Cavalry Regiment ] received the Freedom of the City of Edinburgh. They paraded from Edinburgh Castle to the ' Merket ' [ Market ] Cross and the Deputy Lord Provost [ or Mayor ] invested the Regiment with the Freedom. This Honour allows the Regiment to March through the City with fixed bayonets which would otherwise be illegal in Scotland.

The Gardens of Remembrance are an important part of Scotland's life. It's also the world in which I live. I really didn't think there was a presentation in this years images as the contrast between Edinburgh and Glasgow [ weather wise ] was unbelievable. However when I heard that song I knew I had to get it done. I hope you see something you may like.

Before the devastating fire. This is also the first time I have used frames, thanks to Barry's videos. I hope you see something you may like.

Oh dear, its that simple. Thanks Dave.

and its work worldwide. I've been a CWGC Volunteer for about 2 years now, since my Mem Sab passed away. It involves visiting the CWGC Sites or Plots and Scattered Graves of our WW1/WW2 Casualties. Reporting on their condition ie Stability, legibility of the lettering etc. but also some cleaning if the stone is dirty, which is quite often especially when its under a tree etc. Where you may see a family memorial with just the casualty's name legible, or the only one painted in, its because the CWGC is responsible for that casualties name even tho the family may have opted for a private memorial rather than a CWGC headstone. Where the stone[s] are overgrown its also the volunteers job to clear the debris away and trim the area to 1sq mtr round the headstone. This work is then reported to the co-ordinators who gather such info. I find trees are a menace. It may have been a romantic notion in 1914-1918 but nobody gave a thought to 100 years down the line and the size the trees would be and the potential for damage both above ground but especially below. However, over the last few days I've been closeted with Barry's instructional videos and I'm stunned at the things I didnt know. I particularly like the facility to move the slides along to the peaks in the soundtrack. I still dont know how to embed the video. Sorry. If someone could let me know, I would be grateful.

Bloody hell thats incredible.

John, their parents are Veterans.

Thanks Igor. I have it now. That works fine. I've also found that copy and paste is a useful tool.
