I found this video very interesting. I is hard to believe that it took them 100 days to get there and that 11,953 people were buried in that graveyard.

I found this video very interesting about John Henry de Jersey. The most interesting part was when they were fighting up a hill and it took them a long time but it only took the girls 2 minutes.

I really enjoyed this video and it was moving that every person there had a story of their life, it was also shocking that 11,953 people were buried in that graveyard. To be where he was at the same time of year must have felt strange! It looks like you had an amazing time and have spent a long time with your blogs etc. Well done!

I found this video very interesting. It is strange that it took them 100 days to get to there when it actually wasnt very far. It is nice that he is remembered in guernsey aswell as canada.

I thought it was really moving and interesting, especially as you were doing as he did all that time ago. It was amazing how much you found out about him. It was amazing that you managed to find his grave outof all the thousands that were there. it was really interesting.

Such a good film - it's so interesting and immediate to see you retracing the steps of one man. As you all said, it makes it more affecting.

We found your film about John Henry de Jersey's route to Passendale extremely interesting - particularly pointing out his struggles in the muddy conditions.
