I picked up this rather nice book at the Oxfam Book shop in the town centre today…
Battlefields of the Marne 1914… An Illustrated History and Guide.
It’s one of the Illustrated Michelin Guides to the Battlefields (1914-1918)… Published in 1919.

I didn’t go to The Other Partizan this year…
Because I went to Edinburgh…
It has been quite a while since I’ve been there…

This time I went with my friend Chris and his mother Joyce… Chris had invited me to join them and be their guide.
They were both over in the U.K. to attend the annual Games Workshop 10 Years Veterans dinner dance and wanted to visit Auld Reeky,
Joyce had been there many years before and it was Chris’s first visit….
We traveled up by train on the Sunday and ended our journey in a rather splendid hotel… The Scotsman.
Next day we headed out on our adventures… Mostly in and around the Castle.
Yes… That is Scotland… Yes… That is a blue sky.
The weather was fantastic…
