JBee #1 Posted 28 August Hi all As usual I've run out of time and am wanting to buy approx 20 of the small wooden poppy crosses for my visit to the Somme next week. I drive to Dover on Sunday then ferry to Calais Monday morning. I had planned to have a run to the Nat. Arboretum where I've bought some before, but not had chance. Can we buy them anywhere in France, say at Thiepval? Or maybe the museum in Albert? I'm so cross with myself! Been so busy planning the trip I've run out of time to sort these out and it's important to me. Anyone who can assist? Much appreciated. Jill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marilyne #6 Posted 30 August Ah… the usual question… I surprised the lady at the Grenadier Bookshop last week with a request of 15!! That's to last the marching team for a few months... Have a nice trip!!! M. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Thomson #7 Posted 13 October I know it's a bit late but the Hotel Ibis in Albert has them for sale at their reception desk. If I recall correctly the proceeds go to a charity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
