From Flanders to The Somme...Your photographs.

Thanks Poll, that is a kind offer.

Back to a clearer one now, plus a shot which gives you an idea of the sheer size of each panel. This one is Ernest Riddiough for julieriddiough.

Thank you sooooooo much, I have just got back on line after a house move and what a lovely surprise to find when i logged back in you are a star.

Believe it or not, I knew nothing of this thread until today...  

What an absolute wonder you have be to do all these pics...Amazing

I have been a couple of times, and will be across later this year for both an event at Zonnebeke and another at Fromelles.

If the proposed RC Trip comes off I'd be happy to provide notes etc for where ever you land up

I have given my great uncle's details to the Lyssenthoek Project and am hoping he might be one of the men who is featured in their calendar when the new visitor centre opens - I think next year. They have said they will let me know. There are eleven thousand men in Lyssenthoek Cemetery, so it's a bit of a long shot but how many people will submit their ancestor's details??

When the visitor centre opens, I shall be going back, whether or not he is a featured soldier.

Am not sure whether a RC trip will ever materialise. I certainly don't have time at the moment to organise it but if anyone else wants to take it on, I'd certainly be interested in going along. Please can it not be in the winter - I almost joined those poor men in having trench foot, in November!

I am planning another brief visit to The Somme region, in June and if I think I have time to do more photographs, will start a new thread. But it would be much more specific as I'm really only passing through on my way home from Provence.
