It’s hard to imagine that on this day, 28th May 1940 that men of the Royal Warwickshire, the Cheshire Regiment & Artillery were herded into a barn and murdered with the S.S. commencing the atrocities by throwing stick grenades into the barn in what became known as the Wormhoudt Massacre. Not all of the men were killed, as the slaughter continued some escaped with a survivor Bert Evans living to tell the account of what happened. Trees planted dedicated to each of the victims. As I sat listening to birds singing, nature all around me my thoughts turned to this massacre, the victims, and all the other victims that would fall foul of barbaric massacres that would continue throughout the Second World War. – at Wormhout, France
