Malte Znaniecki Posted 4 May , 2007 Author Share Posted 4 May , 2007 22nd of April 2007 After dinner Ronny arrived at Mell's and Fransie's house. We went off and after passing Ypres we took the road to Lille. We came to Sint Elooi. One of the 2 remaining craters of 1916 we found in no time since Ronny had prepared us as best. Below the picture an aerial and a map which show the big craters from 1916. Numbered as 1 to 5 from the right to the left the Germans called them "Trichter 1, Trichter 2, ... Trichter 5". The now following pictures are from Crater ("Trichter") 2. Copyright: M. Znaniecki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
