Battle of Loos

[Rebecca Cooper]

Hi 

I was wondering if anyone knows if the memorial ceremony still takes place on the 25th of September at Lone tree by Dud corner Loos cemetery?

Welcome to the forum. It does indeed. It’s a short informal ceremony, at 08.30 local time. At Lone Tree, not at Dud Corner. I shall be there with my husband.

Thanks

Hello Rebecca, yes that’s the one. The track will hopefully be driveable for at least some of the distance. Look out for a blue Picanto.

We’re not going to make the ceremony as we’ve got some things to sort out for tomorrow, having arrived from the Marne area yesterday evening but will be in and around the town later this morning. I’m a shortie with greying hair and my husband is taller and bald.
