Please move if required. Thank you.[/SIZE][/CENTER] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] [SIZE=4]I have been fortunate enough to have just purchased a pair of original F.J. Mears watercolours. The research of this fascinating soldier has been amazing. I have really enjoyed passing hours finding out so much about his past. I am beaten though in finding the location mentioned within the title of one of the paintings. I can see that the final word is Ypres, that battle being a truly horrific experience for those poor soldiers. I have studied so many battle maps for detail but I'm just not recognizing anything. That said, I have been pleasantly surprised just how much information is available online! Please see the images below. I have played with the images to try and make it clearer. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all, in advance.
