Bonsoir Yves,
Bravo pour vos prestations, toujours à la hauteur malgré l’improvisation bien involontaire de cette année.
Remercie toute ton équipe pour moi.
Bien amicalement

Dear Yves
Thank you so much for enabling us to experience such a beautiful commemoration service for our Great Uncle on Sunday last. The setting in which Jimmy is buried is so peaceful and serene and so lovingly cared for. I will confess I had not fully appreciated how much time and effort you had put in until I saw the result on Sunday, I know I speak for all my family when I say we were very moved by the beauty of the ceremony. Would you please convey our gratitude to Madame Abad for welcoming us into her house and giving us such a lovely lunch. Also to Bernard for taking the photos and showing us his 'museum'. I hope all your many other commitments during this anniversary Summer go well for you - I'm sure they will. You and your wife, Bernard and Mrs Abad and Keith have given my family and I a day we will never forget.

Thank you very much.

Paul and Karen Spears

Merci pour votre magnifique prestation mardi dernier à Douai. Cela m'a fait énormément de plaisir que le Somme Battlefield Pipe Band puisse partager ce moment avec nous et faire en sorte que le tournois se termine en beauté. Amitiés, Valérie Bince.

It was great to meet up with our good friends, The Somme Battlefield pipe band at Highland Cemetery Roclincourt followed by a lovely welcome reception at the Marie with the mayoress of Roclincourt. The day was rounded off at the Vimy Ridge Canadian memorial where the pipe major played a lament and the secretary laid a wreath ‘no man forgotten’! We will remember them.

«BELGIAN MEMORIAL DAY 2017»

Le Président et le Conseil d’administration du Comité tiennent à vous expri-mer leur reconnaissance pour votre participation à l’hommage rendu aux civils et militaires belges et étrangers tombés sur sol belge en 1917 et parti-culièrement aux sacrifices et souffrances endurées par les Femmes dans la Guerre de 1914-1918, les mamans et familles dans l’angoisse, les veuves et orphelins, les femmes militaires ou les Résistantes et celles ayant remplacé les soldats dans les usines ou les ayant soignés dans des hôpitaux.

Ne pas les commémorer eût été inconcevable et profondément injuste…

Dear Yves,

On behalf of Anthony Allam and myself I wish to express our very great thanks to yourself and to Alain for your attendance at the 1st Battalion Essex Regiment plaque dedication ceremony at Gueudecourt on 12th October. We were extremely pleased that you agreed to play for us, and we thank you for doing a splendid job.

I expect you are more used to attending and performing at much larger ceremonies, but I hope you thought that this small ceremony was worthwhile. No matter how big or small, to a whole regiment or to just one individual soldier, they are all remembered.

We were pleased that you were able to stay long enough to accompany us to the site of the 1st Essex's attack, and to play for us 'in the field'.

To Alain and yourself we once again say a very big THANK YOU.

In sincerity, and with best regards, Alan.
