My top ten spots / sites: 1 The Passchendaele 1917 memorial museum (offcourse) 2 Hooge Crater museum 3 Cryer Farm bunker 4 Bayernwald trenches (Croonaert wood) 5 Dodengang (trench of death in Dixmude) 6 De ijzertoren 7 Ramparts museum 8 HQ german bunker at Zandvoorde 9 Tyne Cot cemetery 10 Vladlso german cemetery This was hard... Some are equal to eachother. But a top 10 is a top 10... Ofcourse the Menin gate + last post beets all!!! but i don't count that as permanent.
