Thanks, Nigel.

I am standing on a ridge, looking back towards the memorial to a division that attacked near here on 9 May 1915. Where am I and which division?

Congrats on looking beyond the temptations of Aubers.

...I'm stood at a 'T' junction facing roughly north in a very historical spot.

To my immediate front, I see evidence of two 'Great' wars

I glance slightly to my right and, on a wall, I see evidence of a third.

A famous emperor still stands roughly a mile from my right shoulder

My first thought was Lead Belly, but I obviously need to broaden my horizons ... :whistle:

Groan!!!! (any more of that and I really will become a Grognard - just like the guy on the left)... That really does just Muddy (the) Waters.:unsure:

Anyway... Bruce's turn for a location now , I think?

Groan!!!!

You're a hard man to please, Dave — I was quite proud of that quip.

Looking forward to Bruce's question, and betting he will tease us with somewhere he hasn't been in the last couple of weeks ...
