As I walk from London to Rome, this blog will be the record of my progress. I hope you will be able to join me along the way; to laugh with me, to cry with me and enjoy with me as I embark on a 1400 mile journey to the heart of the Vatican City. What adventures lie ahead.....

The German Press...
My great uncle, Walter, was fatally wounded while fighting near Arras with the Northumberland Fusiliers on 3 May 1917; he died a few days later in a German Field Hospital after being cared for by a Professor Mueller, Dr Schutinger and Sister Erma respectively. It is only recently we discovered that there is no known grave; his remains lost in the fog of war as so often can be the case. But on this walk, I wanted to see if it would be possible to connect with the relatives of those who tried to help him - and I still hope this may be the case; the German newspapers have kindly lent their support.
