Olharapo Posted 10 May , 2010 Share Posted 10 May , 2010 Here is the Cristo das Trincheiras at Batalha Monastery Michel, When I compare the photo with that of Christ of the Trenches, there appears to be a difference in the form of the sculpture. The head is slightly turned down and the cloth girdling the waste looks different. So perhaps it was the other cross you mentioned. Have you been able to get the photo of the plaque that is in the Town hall of RICHEBOURG. I just wish I could get to France and walk the the whole area with you as my guide, it would be very enlightening. Regards, James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Hone Posted 12 May , 2010 Author Share Posted 12 May , 2010 As the originator of this thread, many moons ago, I am finally making another posting! A friend of mine, an academic Historian in Ireland, came across the thread by chance and suggests that it might form the basis for an article in the magazine 'History Ireland'. I don't know whether anyone would fancy helping collate the mass of information unearthed by the splendid contributors here into such an article?
