1. Title: In Honor of Lt. Littleboy: A Tribute at Geluveld Church This evocative photograph captures the Memorial Plaque dedicated to the memory of Lieutenant Thomas Littleboy, affixed to the wall of Geluveld Church in the picturesque town of Ieper, Belgium. The plaque serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War. Lieutenant Thomas Littleboy, hailing from the historic English town of Great Yarmouth, served valiantly in the British Army during the First World War. His military career took him to the battlefields of Flanders, where he was tragically killed in action on October 15, 1917, during the Battle of Passchendaele. The Memorial Plaque, unveiled in 2016, is a testament to the enduring bond between the people of Ieper and the British soldiers who fought and died in the region during the Great War. The inscription on the plaque reads, "In Gratitude and Remembrance of Lt. Thomas Littleboy, Royal Field Artillery, who gave his life for freedom and peace in the Battle of Passchendaele, October 15, 1917." Geluveld Church, located in the heart of Ieper, has a rich history dating back to the 12th century. The church, which has undergone extensive renovations, stands as a symbol of resilience and hope amidst the horrors of war. The Memorial Plaque to Lt. Littleboy is a significant addition to the church's historical tapestry, serving as a reminder of the shared history and the enduring bond between the people of Ieper and the British soldiers who fought and died in the region during the First World War. The photograph captures the somber and reflective atmosphere of the church, with the Memorial Plaque standing out against the muted tones of the stone walls. The image evokes a sense of reverence and respect, inviting viewers to pause and remember the sacrifices made by Lt. Thomas Littleboy and countless others during the First World War.
