James Brown Posted 23 February , 2019 Share Posted 23 February , 2019 Hi Pals I'm making my first solo visit to the battlefields of France in May this year. (No organised tour - no wife). It will be to the Somme area for 5 days so if i plan well I'll probably get all the requests done. If anyone wants any photographs taken of the area, grave or memorial PM me your address or post below. I'll need all these details and I can email you a high resolution photo or I can post on here. Soldiers Name Regiment Cemetery/Memorial Grave/Memorial reference If anyone is in the area say hello. Aye James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temptage Posted 1 March , 2019 Share Posted 1 March , 2019 Ill be going over there from 27th to 30th, so may bump into each other, but considering the number of different Cemeteries the likelihood is negligible. I am normally in and out the Cemetery in a matter of minutes, park up, find headstone(s), photograph headstones, back in car and off to the next one. This will be the 4th time ive been over there, 3 times on my own and once with my sister, and my personal record is 27 Cemeteries and Memorials in ONE day, so I like to plan well and sort a route out for each individual day. That is most important or you will find yourself zigzagging willy nilly all over the place. If you are looking for somewhere relatively cheap to stay, try the hotelF1 at Arras. Just over £20 a night, perfect for getting your head down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
