My husband and I also intend to visit. In Australia there is a Company that specialises in battlefield tours so I'm sure you must have similar over there Chris Barron

thank you prospectroad for writing about thiepval the battle of...ww1
how very sad it all seemed... my grandfather was killed there in july 1916.
i have received his name and number...( i am sure it was shred that sent them to me)
and i have combed the named on these boards to see if he was on one...no luck.
my father was about 8/9 when he was killed and so, when he was alive...didnt remember...
it is unbelievable...what a terrible death they all had....lieing there for days before being pick up...if known.
i am sure nobody has ever been to see his grave...

Well I finally made it I went to France last week and had the most amazing time...it was moving, emotional and humbling and I can't wait to get back. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone thinking of going to do so. The trip we did (there were only 4 of us) was very personalised following in the footsteps of 4 relatives. The next trip I do will probably be more general but there will definately be a next time...and a time after that...and another after that
