Should be able to upload some more photos later of Flanders Field and Hill 60. Hill 60 has been left as it was in 1917, lots of craters and damaged concrete bunkers. I'm having problems uploading photos, the internet works but I keep getting disconnected for advertising as its a free service.

| The Western Front. The allies were attacking from this direction |
There were lots of bunkers, although most have since sunk into the ground. The bunker above was built by the allies, on top of a German bunker (pill box). The German bunker was of course facing the wrong way, a pity as the quality of the concrete was much better, as the Germans hadplenty of supplies on 17km's away by train. The allies had to use whatever materials they could find.

Momument erected in 1920, look closely and you can see the damage from WWII 20 years later.
Hill 60 is now a movie, click here. |
