Menin gate in the evening sunshine again - can’t believe it’s taken since last August to return!

It’s great to be back in Ypres after a fifteen month COVID induced exile!

On the anniversary of the start of the Battle of Verdun in 1916 I thought I’d share a few pictures of the battlefield from my tour last autumn.

What a wonderful day to undertake a 12 km tour/walk of the Ploegstreet Wood and it’s environs. Some sore feet in party buts healing Jupiler beer should do the trick!

With a few hours to burn after a tour of Somme/Ypres I thought it would be good to revisit the Waterloo battlefield - on a beautiful autumnal day!

Preserved trench system in Bois d’Ally near St Mihiel.

Video of the remains of a French communication trench leading from near Verdun to the front lines at Douaumont.

One of the most moving scenes I’ve ever seen on a battlefield - the Ossuary and graveyard at Douaumont- which is just as moving every time I visit Verdun.

Well what a way to finish a tour - the band of the Grenadier Guards - enjoy because it doesn’t often happen!!!
