well i'm off to the somme on friday for my first visit....great timing for the weather and the centenery. Anyone been? I do have an agenda when I am there but any special must see places that I should try to go?

I'll be doing ypres and passchendeale another time.

I'll post pics up next week!:chug:

Have a great trip!
So, you'll be back in time for Germany? :)

Normandy beach

Should be a good trip. I've only done the bits you're not doing so not much help I'm afraid.

:doubleup:

Have a good one dude, take lots of snaps! :)

Will be but working part of the weekend you are away:angst:

A guy on Scoobynet, and possibly on here aswell, organises these tours.

I was thinking about doing pachendale on the way back from Germany.
You know............... from the traditional direction.

although its well down south, I went to a place in France
Oradeur Sur Glane a few years ago

its what's left of a village that was decimated during the war.

almost all of the people were killed and the village has never been touched.

the new village was built above it

I still have the pictures online
