Pte Albert Pedley, 18 years old, lost his young life 108 years ago today.

Today, I took his great niece to his final places on earth, around the village of Ronssoy.

Then, we paid respect to him at Vis-en-Artois #CWGC.

A privilege to do this on behalf of @sophie1wwtours.bsky.social

Beginning another tour on behalf of @sophie1wwtours.bsky.social, following in the footsteps of a 2nd Bedfordshire man, who only survived 40 days on the Western Front in 1918.

On our way down, today, we stopped off at one of my very favourite sites: Vimy Ridge.

Yesterday was spent following the #FWW footsteps of Pte Alexander Mackenzie and Gnr Frank Bond around the Ypres Salient.

Plenty of ‘off the beaten track’ sites visited in order to fully convey their stories to their descendants.

A pleasure and a privilege to show and tell the #WW1 story of Pte James Mackenzie at Neuve Chapelle, Aubers Ridge and Festubert to his grandaughter today, on behalf of @sophie1wwtours.bsky.social

He was wounded at the latter battle, but also saw sterling service as a RAMC captain in #WW2
