right after the gas the 13th battalion was surrounded and sgt john henry thompson died covering there retreat. He is now burried at pocapelle's cemetary lying with his friends. He died at the cross roads near Ypres itself.
I went on the battlefields trip... essex farm, hill 642, ypres tynne cot etc. I must say my highlights were the menin gate ceremony and tynne cot, but of course it was sad
