Guys,

Pheeeewwww!!! finally got to the end of the thread.

A fantastic collection of pictures and I'm glad you had a great time. But my reason for posting is to say a big thanks. I was due to go on this trip but my dad died a few days before the tour began and to make matters worse he died whilst abroad.

After talking to Bruce he told me that you lit a candle to my dads memory whilst you were on the trip and that really touched me. I have no doubt my old man is tickled pink.

Anyway his ashes have been scattered back in his native Wales and I have done everything that he wanted when he died

So come the next trip to the Somme, Ypres, Verdun etc .......... there will be no holding me back.!!!!! Work permitting and of course she who must be obeyed.

A big thanks to all of you again

It amazes me every time I see Pozieres cemetary,how huge it looks in photos but how much more compact it is when you are there.A truly humbling place,whatever the size.

12 months on and I am going back out to these fantastic places, this time not with the posse but with my wife and two sons. I can only hope for similar weather as to last year and if this trip is half as good as last years then I and the family are onto a winner.
