eltoro1960 Posted 29 September , 2009 Share Posted 29 September , 2009 John, What sort of camera did you use for the panoramic shots, they look great. Mick Mick It's a Fujifilm S1000i 10 Megapixel SLR on panorama setting and a very steady hand, fortunately my hands are in better nick that my eyes.

unitedsound Posted 30 September , 2009 Share Posted 30 September , 2009 Jim #12 "trench cemetery". Being new to the GW I've never heard that term before. Very intriguing. Thanks for the images Jim and John. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Backhouse Posted 19 October , 2009 Share Posted 19 October , 2009 Some great photos there - nice to see people going to these rarely visited places. Yes. A very under-rated area. There is much to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphed Posted 31 March , 2011 Share Posted 31 March , 2011 Meanwhile - found this I took of Cuckoo from down the valley a little - the ground over which many of the Manchester lads must have fought. That is a great pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimSmithson Posted 31 March , 2011 Author Share Posted 31 March , 2011 Thanks. Nice to see this thread emerge again. Its like a trip down memory lane! Photos of a trip I made with Mo, God bless. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphed Posted 1 April , 2011 Share Posted 1 April , 2011 Had a good look at all the pages in this section. I am always intriged as to where people go and take pictures on the western front. Everyone has their own facinating reasons and sometimes just seeing a picture can fill in a blank of an area that you've visited or even more so a visit you may be planning.

margaretdufay Posted 12 November , 2011 Share Posted 12 November , 2011 Have just stumbled across this thread by accident. Do you know of the 51st Highland division war sketches by Fred A Farrell, you can see them on line and plates 23 show the 6th gordons at roeux chemical works, thought it might interest someone mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimSmithson Posted 12 November , 2011 Author Share Posted 12 November , 2011 Seen the sketches mags but think you all the same for reminding me of them and pointing others on the Forum to them as well. There are about 6 or 7 of the Arras area in total within the collection. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
