On the night we arrived in Ypres, MAG told us we'd raised £64,000. That's enough to clear 44,666 square metres of land of landmines and unexploded bombs. We did well and you can still donate to help push up the total.

In 2003, the Iranian photojournalist Kaveh Golestan was killed by stepping on a landmine while he was working as a cameraman with the BBC in Kurdish-administered northern Iraq, just as the war was starting. The the sickening waste of Kaveh’s life still haunts me in a way I cannot explain. www.iranheritage.org/kaveh-golestan/
Also, my great-uncle, Sandy MacLellan, who was enlisted into the British Army during World War One, was killed one month before the end of the war. He was 20 - the age my daughter Seonaid is now. He is buried here http://www.cwgc.org/search/cemetery_photos.aspx?cemetery=2000075&mode=1
I made this journey through these battlefields and cemeteries in their memory. Peace.
