The beautiful Memorial at Vimy Ridge. It was quite misty when we were there.
Nelson stands at the Memorial and pipes Amazing Grace. A crowd formed below as the sound of the bagpipes fills the air at this most spectacular site.
Ninety years on and the old battlefield is still dangerous. The sheep provide the lawn cutting service in this hazardous area!
John in the trenches at Vimy.
We walked through the 'subway' at Vimy ..... not a place that you would want to spend a lot of time if you were a soldier in WW1.
Zouave Valley WW1 Cemetery near Souchez, France. A tiny, out-of-the-way, cemetery that was quite difficult to find. We had to walk quite a way to reach it as the bus could not access the tiny country lane that led to this beautifully kept WW1 cemetery.
Horses in the fields near the cemetery .... almost looks like a painting. The countryside in France is absolutely magnificent!!
