Thank you, l enjoyed that. I've been meaning to get over to the Great War battlefields ever since reading Nigel Jones's The War Walk back in the eighties. Now l'm retired, l've no excuse. Subbed.
Thank you Christopher. It was a lovely day and standing outside the cemetery looking down into Mash Valley just picturing the men advancing over that ground they had to walk across was very moving and something I will never forget, the hour I spent in Ovillers Cemetery was very special a beautiful setting for those boys.
I was there at the beginning of September. Stayed in Amiens. Visited so many war cemetery’s also went to Vimy ridge. The whole trip was extremely emotional, the most being Lochnagar crater.
I too visited at the beginning of September stayed at Albert and also visited Lochnagar Crater a very somber and special place to sit and think what happened there. Vimy is a place I am yet to visit I drove past on way down to The Somme am very much looking forward to visiting the beautiful Memorial there.
@@_Acameraandthesomme We had lunch in Albert and visited the amazing museum. My son took me on this emotional journey, I will go back with my husband one day soon. I, do want to go to Loos, my great uncle Charles Smith HLI died there on 25th September 1915 at the of 19.
