303man Posted 1 November , 2004 Share Posted 1 November , 2004 Are there any planned services on the 11th around the Somme? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Poilu Posted 1 November , 2004 Share Posted 1 November , 2004 The main site of interest will be Thiepval. I was lucky enough to be there last year, you will find a service at the memorial with many locals, officials and visiting Brits. There is usually a Vin d'honneur at the Marie afterwards. Throughout the many towns and villages there will be smaller ceremonies, the 11th is of course a holiday in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Shaw Posted 5 November , 2004 Share Posted 5 November , 2004 Hi 303 Man Meet about 10:00 near the Marie in Thiepval (parking is available at the new visitors centre), we move off slowly toward the church with the locals and the lady mayor. Then onto the memorial itself for the service. Look forward to seeing you there, Make yourself known to other WFA members, we will be having lunch at Le Tommy.
