| Commonwealth graves in Saint Imoges churchyard |
On the way to Alsace we stopped in Saint Imoges and shared a flask of coffee on a bench opposite the Mairie. We walked around the churchyard which contained so many graves, both French and British all dating from a few days in July 1918 - the last great push which helped bring that war to a close a few months later. So sad to think of so many lives on all sides cut short.
