Description:

The Reverend CT Brothers was Rector of Bacton in the Golden Valley. His scrapbook contains a newspaper article he wrote, photographed below, describing his post-war visit to Belgium to see the First World War battlefields around Bruges, Ypres and Zeebrugge. The exact date of his trip is not known, but judging by the devastation he describes and the need to beware of mines on the channel crossing it cannot have been long after the 1918 armistice. The cutting is undated and the Newspaper is not identified, but references to the harvest being brought in suggest the summer of 1919.

Observations:
