jay dubaya Posted 15 March , 2022 Share Posted 15 March , 2022 Mrs Dubaya’s great grandfather was reinterred at St Souplet and it’s been a few years since we were last there and not sure when we’ll be able to return. If you’re passing and have the time we would really appreciate an upto date photo Michelle. He is Lance Bombardier Percival Mogg Plot I, Row F, Grave 21. cheers, J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temptage Posted 24 March , 2022 Share Posted 24 March , 2022 On 15/03/2022 at 14:00, Michelle Young said: Dury Mill or Crucifix, Vis en Artois, Caudry British, Bethencourt, St Souplet, Poix du Nord, Ghissignies Right, Ill leave it at that for now. Do you want the list on here or via a DM? Most are 1-4 men, but I do have 25 names on Vis en Artois Memorial. Im not expecting you to get them all but if you could get the 13 Lincolnshire Regiment names all on one or two panels, itll save any running around all over the Memorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Michelle Young Posted 25 March , 2022 Author Admin Share Posted 25 March , 2022 We are staying the night in Dury, so it’s a toss up which one we go to. I think we can see Mill from the B&B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyne Posted 25 March , 2022 Share Posted 25 March , 2022 Hi Michelle, When exactly will you be in the area of Mons?? I might try and get a day off and join you there... it's only an hour driving from my place. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 25 March , 2022 Author Admin Share Posted 25 March , 2022 I’m not sure what day yet Marilyne. We arrive at Bavay on 16th April pm. Then we work out what day we do what. We have a couple of walks planned around Mons and a trip around Elouges and the road up to the sucrerie etc. I don’t think the Monday after Easter is a holiday in France or Belgium is it?

Marilyne Posted 25 March , 2022 Share Posted 25 March , 2022 Yes, Easter Monday (18th) is a holiday in Belgium... and even for the European Union !!! M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 26 March , 2022 Author Admin Share Posted 26 March , 2022 It’s been a while since I was over at Easter and couldn’t remember! The Monday might be a possibility for Mons, as there should be less traffic theoretically. The few times around Mons have always been challenging, Especially on the motorbike….
