About me: Søren Hawkes MA

Direct from a Ypres based British artist whose Gt Grandfather was a 15 year old Lancashire Fusilier at the battle of The Somme in 1916, he was badly maimed at the battle of Passchendaele in Oct 1917, his eldest brother was killed in 20th February 1915 at 'The Bluff' Ypres.
