Just returned from my 2nd trip to Ypres (last one 2 years ago). Fantastic!

After my last trip my daughter did a film for her Uni project on Sgt Lewis McGee www.vimeo.com/127092430

This time we visited Hamburg Farm to try and see the bunker Lewis stormed when he won his VC. The farm is run by an 85 year old and his son. Strange people who do not like strangers and refuse point blank to allow any access to the bunker.

Visited Johan Vanderwalle who owns the pub the "Anzacs Rest" in Zonnebeke. You really must visit there and if youre lucky Johan may show you his private collection.

Google "Brothers In Arms WW1" and read about the Hunter brothers. Have your hankies ready!

What a wonderful human being Johan is.
