Mat McLachlan Posted 9 January , 2006 Share Posted 9 January , 2006 Hi all, I see on my trusty IGN map that there is a monument next to Madame Wood near Bouchavesnes. Can anyone tell me what it commemorates? Is it WWI-related? I want to use it as part of directions I'm giving in a walking tour but, last time I was in France, I didn't note what was on it. Cheers, Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle bill Posted 9 January , 2006 Share Posted 9 January , 2006 it's a small, rather forlorn monument to a french soldier and his comrades who died there on the same day. I have a photo somewhere and will try and find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat McLachlan Posted 10 January , 2006 Author Share Posted 10 January , 2006 Thanks for the replies. I'm sure one day there will be a question obscure enough to stump the forum but I haven't come across it yet! Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
