Been there, in 1975 I went with 30 WW1 soldiers & some ex Pals, (one in particular stands out, Sandy Ellison, for a time he was Stanley's Mascot when they were at Peel Park), took loads of pictures, went again in 1985, made a 40 minute video of the trip round the battlefields & cemeteries. I've also been collecting individual WW1 headstones of local men, now got a few hundred in the collection. My daughters have now taken over the job of photographing the headstones, & visit the area every year for me, as I'm no longer able to travel very far.
Retlaw.
