margaretdufay Posted 26 February , 2013 Author Share Posted 26 February , 2013 This one caught my eye going through Souchez to take some photos in Cabaret Rouge British cemetery, it is not the Souchez monument to its war dead, i will probably have to go back and look for that, but it is for a certain General Barbot and the 77th Division, hope you like it, what touched me most was reading about the day the monument was inaugurated and the emotion that it stirred in the veterans, so great was their love for their General. Here is a link for more info. http://www.cheminsdememoire-nordpasdecalais.fr/visiter-les-sites/le-front/monument-a-la-gloire-de-la-division-barbot-souchez.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMarsdin Posted 4 April , 2013 Share Posted 4 April , 2013 Hi Mags, I know the polychrome ones aren't to Marco's taste but in my recent trip I noticed that several seemed to have been repainted ready for the centenary, like this one at Lissey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
