Hello Cyclefrance
( Who was it who said that I wouldn't be able to stay away ? In my defence , I have to say that I have at last finished what I had to do , and for family reasons , I simply cannot avoid replying to this post . )
My grandfather fought in the Somme , in Mametz Woods which is near Albert . He was seventeen , and with the Royal Welch Fusiliers . Very famous battle . The signs towards the site are bilingual French/ Welsh , and there is a dragon monument on a hillock overlooking the woods . I went there with my children a few years ago . Did you go there yourself ?
And did you go Ypres ?
