Introduction
8th May
I aim to undertake a journey. Starting in Crumlin I will travel to Ypres, arriving on the 8th May – my birthday, near the place where my great-great-uncle, Jonah Rogers (pictured opposite) fell in the Great War on 8th May 1915 at the Battle of Frezenberg Ridge.
Symmetries
We have all wandered through cemeteries, whether in towns, cities or in the countryside. They are places to sit and contemplate, to remember or wile away time. They can be well-kept, tumbledown, hidden away or central. They are as different from one another as those buried within. But whatever one's purpose for visiting, or wherever they are to be found, cemeteries are an integral part of the living community.
