Was it a famous writer?

Catfish · 04-16-19, 02:14 PM

Seems you already know the answer...

To answer your question: Yes. Though some 'patriots' would call him a 'traitor'.

Robert Graves?

Not understanding .... Though some 'patriots' would call him a 'traitor'.

Robert "von Ranke" Graves it is

(related to Leopold von Ranke, a german historian)

His house is in Deija on Mallorca, and he lived there until 1985.
The destroyer seen on the photo is the HMS Grenville, with which he left Mallorca when the spanish civil war was about to swap over to the islands. The Grenville also helped to evacuate a lot of others, one of them being Albert 'Vigoleis' Thelen (a german writer who helped to transcribe and translate Graves' "I, Claudius"), to leave the island when Franco's kill commandos started to search the island and things got ugly.

In his initial autobiography "Goodbye to all that" he wrote quite open about what happened in WW1, from rumours of shooting prisoners of war, to class society extending to the trenches, about a gas attack gone wrong, and when a friend pleaded for armistice with Germany he helped him to evade court martial claiming he had a shell shock.
Despite being patriotic himself and despising the german invasion of Belgium he was critical about the war, and when he wrote his autobiography and then chose to leave England to live abroad, some seem to have.. misunderstood him.

Over to you

Very interesting. Today of course people could say the things Graves said and it would hardly cause a stir. Very brave of him to do so. Only those who were there could know the true horror of trench warfare in WW1.

I am currently experencing internet and Imgur problems. If someone would like to go that would be great. Or you could go again.

Jimbuna · 04-17-19, 07:12 AM

Okay then, what is this?

(Hope you get your problems sorted soon).

Catfish · 04-17-19, 07:32 AM

A memorial/statue with a shielded horse?

Jimbuna · 04-17-19, 07:45 AM

No but not a million miles away.

I see where the horse suggestion came from but it's not a horse.

For some unknown reason I lost my wireless connection this morning. Am currently connected by cable and Imgur doesn't like that. As I am a computer illiterate I may have to seek help.

Is that a man's leg?

Jimbuna · 04-17-19, 08:28 AM

No, not a man but closer than the horse guess.
