I went out today to try to get some Accidental Rennaiscence composition, but was carried away with this leading line of soldiers' boots.
Every soldier and veteran on the parade was given an Emsworth Rose, formerly known as the Imjin Rose, to commemorate a battle in the 'Forgotten War' in Korea.
A poignant and sombre parade.
It's my day to upload a photo to The Darkroom so I have a shot of an Emsworth Rose that was pinned to a veteran who fought in The Korean War 60 years ago.
Cool pov - and hardly anyone knows that there were British Army soldiers fighting in Korea, really forgotten. My father was seconded to the NZ navy and was there, and I used to share a flat with someone else whose father was a soldier in that war. It wasn't a great war.
You've even caught a military photographer at the end of the line.
