Seadog Posted 3 February , 2012 Share Posted 3 February , 2012 Hi Norman, thanks quote: "in my opinion this is an area of the Flanders battlefield that deserves more recognition than it presently does in respect of battlefield tourism." Norman, that is why I am finishing a manuscript about the fighting in and around Houthulst Forest during 3rd Battle of Ypres. Nobody has written yet about this subject In the book wille be some 40 maps and more than 100 never published WWI fotos and aerials. British, French and Germana actions are treated. Also picks of still existing pill boxes that played a role in the battle best regards, Eddy Excellent news Eddy be sure to let us all know when the book is printed (hopefully in English as well) and we will form an orderly queue. Best Wishes Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
