| Sensational and very emotive photos. Well done. The ones at Fromelles particularly striking, as are the 'going down of the sun' landscapes. I very much hope to get similar ones in June/July. Weather looking much better in Paris. Hope it holds out for the ceremonies and summer in general! |

Tomorrow we will be back at the Somme ( again) to do the Ancre Valley walk from Paul's book.
Wish me luck, I always have the feeling that the Dutch are the lesser "walkers"

Lucky you Yvonne..
If possible maybe you can post some more pictures on your return for us, ideally one straight down Mill Road towards the Ulster Tower?
Have a great trip, hope the weather's ok.
Thanking you
Mark

We had a great day, it was dry and a bit windy and as usual I may say , things didn't go as planned.
The things we visited before our walk took so much time that we take the walk another time.
For us it's only a 3 hour drive, and I'm a winter/spring visitor, so next time we drive straight forward to the beginning point of the Ancre-walk
And we took a rest in Beaucourt-station and there we had long talks and it was dark before we knew it
Pics are coming this week, we took about 189
 and I have to make a selection.
We discovered a nice German monument on a farmers land and on the public graveyard in Courcelette a German and an Englishman, he was buried in the 1930's and worked for the war graves commission.
This is the short version!
