I Went to Cannock Chase yesterday with my friend Margaret...there are so many memorials there in different parts of the woods, for many different countries, who have lost soldiers and civillians in times of war, it always makes me so very sad..we visited the One for the Polish Soldiers & civillians that were murdered in Katyn Forrest by the Russians....It was interesting to find out that for 40 years the Germans were blamed for the massacre...but then in 1980..The Russians Government finally admitted to it..So many Poles live in this country & there are always cards and wreaths on the memorial stone there, from families who have lost loved ones.
I brought a book about the chase in the time of the two World wars..it is so interesting and some of the remains of huts army/prison camps are there if you explore..something i intend to do when i get back from Vanessa's.
