I’ve driven past this memorial several times on my way to work but never stopped before. George Parramore was a member of a US bomber crew: his plane was caught by German fighters while returning to England after a bombing raid. The crew bailed out but Parramore was killed. vredesporen.be/m102/

A nice little chapel in Leuven for today’s evensong. A small section of original wall painting survives but I guess the rest of the chapel was rebuilt after WW1
