Goodbye Oude Abdij Lo Hotel, it's been another good year.

As always, the last post at Menin Gate was a very emotional and thought-provoking event. Here are a few photos. The last post bugal call will be posted shortly once it has finished uploading. 

Dinner

Fantastic dinner at a restaurant in Ipres. Getting ready to go up to the Menin gate now. 

Extra photos

A few extra photos from the other groups. 

Tyne Cot

Tyne Cot is the largest commonwealth military cemetry in the world. We managed to find the relative of one if our students and we placed a poppy cross as a mark or respect. 

1917 Museum

A superb museum that gives an insight into what life was like in the trenches and a film about the battles in and around Passchendaele. 

Shell dug up

We saw a shell that appears to have been unearthed during some excavations in a field next to Langemarck Cemetry. 

Belgian's still find ammunition from WW1 and they leave them out for the army to collect. 

Langemarck Cemetry

A German cemetery in stark contrast to the commonwealth cemeteries we have visited. A very eerie and sombre place.
