This site The Great War 1914 - 1918 provides an overview of the First World War battlefields on the Western Front by showing you where they are and what you can see there today. Established in 1998, the website is dedicated to the memory of 20 family members who served in the military during the Great War of 1914-1918.

All 20 members are to be included on the canvas Military Boots and Rosina Kaulins was happy to volunteer to sew 10 name-tapes pictured below, thank you Rosina.
