angelab Posted 10 April , 2014 Share Posted 10 April , 2014 I came across this page with many old postcards of the Brtish army passing through Boulogne during WW1. There are views of camps, soldiers, field bakeries, casualties, prisoners of war, ships etc. http://histopale.net/les-archives/boulognemer/pendant-la-guerre-1418/ Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Morgan Posted 10 April , 2014 Share Posted 10 April , 2014 Doesn't that hill up and out of Boulogne (from the docks) look daunting? You can see the effort the men are making to march up it. If only the photos could give an impression of how long it is. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
