Hello John,
I think today nobody is alive who would remember these events as they actually too place in 1918. The end of the WW1 has become almost like a fairytale, told and re-told with great respect for those who fought and died, but now mostly like an amusing festival. Actually the reason for this carriage we are seeing is not so important any more. It's a pleasant view from the Belgian countryside, it was a nice day, the colours are agreeable and the horses are very beautiful and charming.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hallo John,
Een goede foto van deze herdenking van de Eerste Wereldoorlog. De soldaten in hun uniformen staan er goed op achter op de wagen en ook de andere mensen lijken kleding van honderd jaar geleden aan te hebben. Het was een mooie, zonnige dag.

Hi John
An appropriate photo with some many commemorations re WW1 on at present. Nice to see one old "soldier" sitting on the rear - a break from marching?
cheers

Hello John, Nice picture from the historical parade. Charming view of the old horse cart, the soldiers sitting at the back. But the very large size of the woman jumps into the eye. Pleasant picture from the countryside.
Excellent very fresh picture :). Fantastic colours and sharpness, well composed as always.
Good idea to show the events taking place 100 years ago.
Have a nice weekend

Hello John,
a nice tribute to the 100 years from the end of WW1, and people on this green-painted wooden carriage are dressed accordingly.
The horse in the side from where taken the picture, looks fit and well groomed. A Breton horse, I guess.
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

Hello John,

Thank you for this, it is a great reminder of the end of WWI and how much the allies have to share with one another. WE have lots of big, red poppies positioned around our village, near to where the fallen soldiers used to live, with a a b&w photograph of each soldier on their poppy.
This traditional form of transport is most apt for the purpose, with the passengers appropriately dressed. It makes a fine picture, clear and well saturated,
I couldn't help noticing the shadows (I just like them) particularly those of the men's legs at the back of the cart.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello John,

The end of any war is always a great thing, especially the 2 world wars fought in Europe. Australians were in the region too...

"In late March (1918), Australian troops were brought south from Belgium as reinforcements to help shore up the line and in early April the Germans launched an attack to capture Villers-Bretonneux. After a determined defence by British and Australian troops, the attackers were close to success until a counter-attack by the 9th Australian Infantry Brigade and British troops late in the afternoon of 4 April restored the situation and halted the German advance on Amiens."

It's quite touching that every Anzac Day April 25th the people of Villers-Bretonneux keep their promise to never forget the liberation of the town by Australian troops. Anyway I digress. The horse and cart and 6 passengers provide a strong centre of interest. Good sharpness, color and framing. Tfs!

Ciao John
bella ricostruzione e bella foto, ma non posso fare a meno di pensare che quei momenti sono stati tristi e belli.
Saluti

Hello, John!

Beautiful view of this old carriage, and the horse looks very curious with theses so hairy legs! Excellent light, colors and sharpness! Wonderful composition! Well done!

Hallo John, this old carriage has six passengers, most of them wear vintage clothes. It is drawn by two percherons. The animals look in excellent health. Interesting reportage about the procession to commemorate the liberation. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.
