Sepia Saturday 345 (November 2016) : War And Peace


Our Sepia Saturday theme image for November features some war-weary troops from World War I and it illustrates our November couplet - War and Peace. You can be as imaginative as you like with this theme and choose to remember - via your old photographs - times of conflict or times of blessed peace. Just post your posts and link theme to the list below.

By the time you read this I will be on the high seas, heading down for a Sepia Summit with Marilyn. If you have any suggestions for the future of Sepia Saturday, let us have theme a.s.a.p. I look forward to catching up with all your submissions on my return.

    Nice idea Diane, but we’ve done that to death. Would you like to join our Facebook group, where you can access more info and see what we’ve done in the past?

    I love a challenge and learning so much about WWI this month has opened my eyes!

    This is a great theme for my collection. I'll start with a short story from a postcard. Musical, of course.

    Back to give it another try. An ugly photo of the aftermath of war.

    Thanks very much for the inspiration image. I am revisiting a number of stories of family members lost to us in The First World War.

    I have not shortage of material for this month's theme. Here is the sad tale of my cousin's grandfather who survived the war - but at a price.

    My father, just a boy in WW1 didn't know what he was signing up for.

    Revamping and updating a post from my ‘other blog’ for Remembrance Day. It’s about animals in war.

    As it's Nov.. 11th today, I felt there would be no better way to observe it
    than to complete the story of my father's military service in WW1, to the
    extent that I know of it. I've tried to piece together the records and hope
    that I have most of the dates and places as they were. Sorry about posting
    them all at once, but I have a busy month ahead.

    This week another collection of military musicians from WW1. And a non-musical essay which I felt compelled to write.

    I've been taking a few weeks' break from blogging but I'm back again now and look forward to the next topic. I do feel I've already blogged about most of my serving relatives, hence my lack of inspiration for this month's theme.

    I have enjoyed working with the monthly prompt photos, but am glad to see we are going back to the weekly images. I do prefer the weekly challenges. I just hope they will prompt more participation. Hold a good thought! :)

    My last contribution to the theme of War and Peace. I have enjoyed writing to the monthly theme, but look forward to seeing more Sepia Saturday bloggers returning to the weekly challenges ahead.

    I have a LOT of photo postcards from WW1, so I have enjoyed the opportunity this month to feature some of them. My contribution for this last weekend is a photo detective story about two musical postcards. It's long, but then the war was long too.
