Short drive around The Somme, Vimy & Ypres

Going back to Tyne Cot, and interesting fact about the monument I discovered when I visited there last September. The monument was erected over a German blockhouse and at the front carved in stone was an elarged Army cap badge (crown & wreath) but the centre is missing. When George V was shown the cemetery after the war, he suggested the the centre wasn't completed as it shows to this day the concrete blocks of the blockhouse.

Lovely report. Always looks more atmospheric in inclement weather.

Thanks for sharing.../Rob
