Glyn Technology School in France and Flanders
On 19th – 20th July 2010 the staff and students of Glyn Technology School travelled to France and Flanders with Anglia on a tour of the Battlefields of the Great War led by Bob Hilton and John Taylor.The tour started, as many do, with a study of the Ypres Salient and consideration of the impact the decision to hold this town had upon the course of the war. The destruction wrought upon Ypres and its surrounding area and the sacrifice made by thousands of young men, is so poignantly remembered by the citizens of the town who, on a daily basis, attend the Last Post ceremony held underneath the Menin Gate. Whilst the group gathered to witness the ceremony, 3 students were afforded the honour of laying a wreath to remember the fallen.
