Motorcycle touring camping Dunkirk, France
As we ride our motorcycles through France towards Dunkirk we see many memorials to victims of war, something close to my heart as ive lost family members in the forces too.
I feel compelled to walk amongst the graves and pay my respects, before finding somewhere for camping

Would be rude not to visit them, sadly there are that many you cant do them all on a single trip. It does does drum it home, how many lost their lives though. I will return at some point, it felt like unfinished business 👍

I wouldn't want my sons to give their life for the problems caused by politicians, So sad for the relatives on both sides that lost young sons and if it visiting those graves and imaganing the horror they suffered doesn't bring a lump to your throat then ther's somthing wrong with you. RESPECT thanks for sharing.

Can't really say for politicians back then, but the current crop ain't worth fighting for that's for sure. My family really suffered by WWII, both my parent and their brothers lost fathers, obviously i never had a grandfather growing up and seeing how affected my parents and Uncles each remembrance day will haunt me forever. Watching a tough guy like my dad shed a tear broke my heart. them graves bring it back.

We had a ride to the war graves in Normandy, I was a blubbering mess all the way round thinking of all the young men and women who died for our freedom.

@MotoTripTV 8 месяцев назад

Exactly, having family in war graves makes you realise your own story is tiny to the overall loss to families everywhere, and like it said on the video, the unknown soldiers graves are so sad to see.

@robyel4312 8 месяцев назад

Yeah we had a ride there too, it’s hard to keep your emotions together when you see it for real, lost it a couple of times. But at least you went in and showed your respect. Well done mate, love watching your videos, just makes me want to go back 👍👍

@cbrider726 8 месяцев назад

I have to say . I was in France last year for the first time and i know what you mean about how you feel when you stop at the war graves . I am now 64 years of age and i have to admit i cried at the sight of just how many young men and women died. I dont think that unless you visit these sites you apreciate the mood thats set in them . I felt strange . My son has just returned from fighting in the Ukraine and i was in France at that time . He came back injured and it really go to me .

Certainly puts a lump in your throat, walking and reading the graves, young men who gave everything for their country.

Nice one Mate. I really enjoyed that. Jonathan said it all, 'Mad ain't it' ! That definitely sums up all wars. Anyway, you and your family have a great Christmas ☃️.

@MotoTripTV 8 месяцев назад

Cheers Keith, to you too 👍 Keep an eye out for a silly Christmas quiz i am uploading this week lol one for the family to challenge each other.... i did it years ago, but i think people will enjoy it 😁

I visited the US war graves, beautifully kept but oh so sad, I too was a blubbering wreck. Years ago I was in France near the beaches, although I didn't know exactly where I was. I came over cold and couldn't hear a thing, as we turned the corner we saw the landing beaches, spooky.

@hanthil5068 8 месяцев назад

Another great vlog, thanks. What regiment was your Grandfather with at Salerno if you don't mind me asking

@MotoTripTV 8 месяцев назад

He was in the Green Howards, we was told he died after a shell exploded, we will never know for sure. I intend to do a personal tour from Home to Anzio on the bike in 2025 where i will tell his story and visit his grave.... it will be emotional, especially since i will be scattering my own fathers ashes with him.

@matthewbinnie6194 6 месяцев назад

If you watch David Jason's film about WW1 you will see that all the young men in a town or village joined the same regiment and got wiped out en mass.

How sad is that, not seen that.
