I always find this gravestone for John Duggan, in St Mary's Drogheda, incredibly moving. One of the '600' who rode into the 'Valley of Death' as a 17th Lancer #otd 1854, he survived - but only just. John fought throughout #CrimeanWar & ended his days as Sexton of St Mary's, dying in 1881, aged 67.

Paid a visit to the Pit Village of Bomarsund, Northumberland today. The colliery here opened in 1854 and was named for the Fortress of Bomarsund, Åland Islands, Finland, where the Royal Navy had been engaged in a famous victory that year. My second Bomarsund of 2025 :-) #Finland
