As we arrived on our plane and began to meet everyone travelling to France, people began to ask what made you come on this journey.
There are long strories and short ones but as we tried to explain, we finally showed them pictures of Francis and Dad. If they could have seen Dad's cap badge they might even have been able to tell us what regiment he was with!
They nailed Francis' regiment within seconds from his cap and insignia. The long and the short of it is that we have decided that for a short time at least, Francis should have a face to visitors and anyone who may come by the cemetary.
Today we stopped at a small cemetary to honour a soldier. The guidebook shows hundreds and hundreds of graveyards clustered around Amies and Arras. They are everywhere.
In this area we will be seeing more places associated with WWI.
