Back from the front

[Phil Davies (FGM)]

Hi all I am back from the Western Front, what a great experience it was too. Long days with lots of travelling saw us cover the whole of the British sector. We went to The Somme where I walked up the sunken lane and saw the crater left by the Hawthorn mine, Thiepval memorial, Battle of Loos, Sanctuary wood, Hooge, New Foundland memorial park with the intact trenches, Vimmy Ridge memorial park with the intact German trenches, Devalle wood, Memetz Wood and loads of other places. The remarkable thing is that these places have hardly changed in ninety years, you could just imagine the troops and the trenches, it was truly an incredible experience and I recommend anybody to go and see it for themselves. I have taken loads of photo's and I'll try and post some later.
