Brett Posted 6 August , 2007 Author Share Posted 6 August , 2007 Yes, I hope to take as many "now" photos as I can, and will post them here in due course. Regards and best wishes, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevem49 Posted 6 August , 2007 Share Posted 6 August , 2007 Hello Brett Excellent Pics. When will you be over? Perhaps we could meet up if our visits coincide. stevem (took some photos for you a while ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Posted 6 August , 2007 Author Share Posted 6 August , 2007 Hi Steve. I certainly do remember you very kindly taking several photographs of gravestones of CMGC soldiers for me! Thank you. Unfortunately, I will only be able to make a very brief visit the the area, but I am hoping that this will be between Monday 15th and Friday 19th October. Much of the Monday will be spent travelling to Arras from Leicester, and on the Friday we - my brother and I, that is - will be heading east for Amsterdam to visit our cousins. We will have a hire car and intend to be in the Arras-Vimy, Somme and Ypres areas, probably on the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, respectively (yes, I know it's a lot of ground to cover, but this has to be a whistle-stop tour, I'm afraid). If you are in the vicinity during that time frame, it would be great to meet up. Regards and best wishes, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Thomson Posted 6 August , 2007 Share Posted 6 August , 2007 Hi Brett, you'll love the rolling hills in Northern France/Belgium. The area around Albert is identical to the Waikato. Great for a ride. I think the shot you have of the 'woods', aint. It's clearly just some trees off the road somewhere, impossible to relocate, but those ruins, and the Cloth Hall look easier to identify... Good luck and bon voyage bro!

Brett Posted 6 August , 2007 Author Share Posted 6 August , 2007 Thanks, mate. I really am looking forward to it. Cheers, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevem49 Posted 7 August , 2007 Share Posted 7 August , 2007 We may be on the M1 at the same time then! I think I may be going on the Monday but am waiting for confirmation. I will be presenting a copy of my book either that week (or November) steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted 7 August , 2007 Author Share Posted 7 August , 2007 That's great, as long as we are not travelling in different directions. Let me know when you have confirmation. Regards and best wishes, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
