Thanks to my father I have a big interest in the first world war (so much so I am looking at going back to uni next year to study archaeology and history to hopefully become a battlefield archaeologist) and I would like to go to the Somme in the future. What is the WFA Baggieman?
I was in Lille back in March and whilst there I went on a battlefield tour. The tour consisted of going to Fromelles (http://www.ww1battlefields.co.uk/others/fromelles.html) and then onto some memorials including the site of the 1914 Christmas truce. The tour was concluded with a couple of hours in Ypres which is a lovely little place with lovely people. I also went on a solo day trip across to Mons which was lovely. So lovely in fact that I am going back again as well as going to Tournai.
