g-collins Posted 18 October , 2009 Share Posted 18 October , 2009 (edited) Anyone know where Hydepark corner is in France ? My Father was there from 26-6-17 to 4-7-17. I can't find it anywhere, I would also like to know why it was given that name ? Graham. Edited 18 October , 2009 by g-collins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurel Sercu Posted 18 October , 2009 Share Posted 18 October , 2009 Are you sure it is in France ? There is a HPC near Ploegsteert, but that is in Flanders (Belgium). (South of Ypres) Aurel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

centurion Posted 18 October , 2009 Share Posted 18 October , 2009 A whole lot of locations in the area given London names such as the Strand, Hyde Park Corner, Somerset House, Charing Cross, Regent Street,Oxford and Picadilly Circuses. CO in that area was once a certain W S Churchill but before your father's time there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
