Brrrrr!!

That picture brought back a few memories for another Welsh soldier - and of Derrin Lines in Brecon - around 100 years or so later. The only couple of differences being - that young soldier was wearing BD - and the snow would have been up to the top of the arch in your beautiful picture Randy!

Boy - was it cold up there. johnnybach
