About This Book

The narrative records a sovereign's private pilgrimage to the cemeteries in France and Belgium where soldiers from the recent war lie, describing the simple dignity of the memorials, the ruined landscapes and coastal spots encountered, meetings with villagers, grieving relatives and the caretakers of the Imperial War Graves Commission, and moments of public gratitude and intimate devotion; it combines prose impressions, accounts of ceremonies and personal exchanges with photographs and poetic reflection on collective sacrifice and remembrance.
