    Thanks for taking us all along on this trip.

    I saw all of those places last summer, and will see most of them again this June, leading student field trips to Vimy/Notre-Dame-de-Lorette/Arras and to Ieper/Tyne Cot. This time, though, I hope to stay in Ieper for the Last Post, even if it means buying dinner for all the students. Seeing those pictures has made me want to see/hear that, badly, and to get them to experience it as well.

    Thankyou English Bloke, for this superb picture travel log. I went to these places about 15 years ago and your picutures brought tears to my eyes again. Thankyou for documenting your trip in such a wonderful manner

    Wow, that must have taken some time to upload all those John.
    Super pics, very poignant, though there is some lovely spring colour, specially in the tree blossom at Villers Brettoneaux.
    You really covered a lot of ground on your trip to France and Belgium!
    Thanks for sharing those moments from your tour.
