Remembered Today:

Railway wood

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Was driving along the road from Hellfire corner to the A 19 today, the one where the railway Ieper-Roeselare used to be. I noticed a mechanical digger and a tripod in the newly ploughed field just to the East of Railway Wood. Apparently some digging had allready been done. I did not have the time to stop by, and will not be able to do so untill the end of next week, as I'm off for research abroad. I wondered if anyone has an idea what is going on... an archaeological excavation? cables? ... In any case, the work seems to be spot on the German front line. If this is not an excavation, I hope the work gets monitored this time.

regards,

Bert.

well, I did manage to stop by today after all, and the digger seems to be a drilling machine of some sort. I think the farmer is putting in a new drainage system. So I think I might have been a bit too quick to raise my concerns.

regards,

Bert

I think it was a good thing that you noticed this so quickly Bert. If you wait too long, it can become too late.
