Beselare Posted 30 May , 2017 Share Posted 30 May , 2017 Finding the exact site of the famous Matania painting is not proving easy. I have obtained GPS co-ordinates from a Royal Munster Fusiliers site, but I don't have a GPS system. Has anyone ever marked the site on a map (trench map or modern map) that they could kindly post? Also is there any memorial on the site? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beselare Posted 30 May , 2017 Author Share Posted 30 May , 2017 Thank you very much Gareth. Clearly the video shows the memorial and it was visited by Michelle, GWF. I know approximately where the site is so now I have something to look out for. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 31 May , 2017 Admin Share Posted 31 May , 2017 I don't have a photo of the memorial to hand, but it's definitely worth a visit. Also worth a visit is Richebourg Mairie, where a copy of the painting hangs. The staff let me and a friend in to see it when we dropped by in March.
