trenchtrotter Posted 10 November , 2013 Share Posted 10 November , 2013 It is dark and in a fairly unkempt condition as I recall? I have walked around but never entered. TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towisuk Posted 10 November , 2013 Author Share Posted 10 November , 2013 Many thanks TT, I had a look on Google street view, and from what I could see it was a bit on the dark and gloomy side.... I was wondering how badly it suffered in the weeks barrage preceding the attack on July the 1st, and whether it had been re-instated to its pre-war condition... regards tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centurion Posted 10 November , 2013 Share Posted 10 November , 2013 I imagine that unless the inhabitants of Thiepval are extraordinarily healthy (or have to avoid garlic at all times) then there will have had to be considerable alteration and addition to it since then in any case.
