bcerha Posted 16 September , 2005 Author Share Posted 16 September , 2005 I hope that you enjoyed these pictures. It is a fascinating and yet quite difficult battlefield to understand and indeed navigate, especially given the closeness of the thick undergrowth and the lack of any really clearly definded tracks and paths. The conditions in which the troops fought, under threat of gas attack, with the sweltering heat and the well positioned enemy must have dreadful.

armourersergeant Posted 16 September , 2005 Share Posted 16 September , 2005 Blimey at last, great Photos. I was especially surprised to see the Graves with the Stones lying down ward, flat! Is that something to do with the weather etc?, as the only others i have seen like that were German ones in Flanders. regards Arm Ps see ya in a year when you have your notes written up. Though I should not shout. I kept a diary of my first trip to Ypres in April and have still to write that up. It must be the company I keep!

bcerha Posted 16 September , 2005 Author Share Posted 16 September , 2005 I think the reason for the small box like gravestones is that the soil is pretty thin and perhaps they are more suited to the local conditions that the more traditional upright portland stone ones. Glad you enjoyed them. I will get around to writing it up eventually...... Regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
