On a recent visit to Flanders(oct 05) I took these pics, If anyone is interested in seeing them. Trip was undertaken by myself, Groundhog and Wes. Good time had by all(espically with the price of stella over there) and many places visited. The Highlight for me was finding the "le Touret" memorial which contains the names of 9 men from my home town(carrick on suir) six of which died the same day 19-10-1914.
Pics are as follows.
1. The Cross to the memory of the Royal Munster Fusiliers at Eterux
2. The Execution post at "Popering".
3. The plaque to the Munsters at Eterux.
4. The cemetary and memorial at Le Touret. This is on the Rue de Bois, where the famous "last absolution of the Munsters" took place.
5. "Ploegestreet" wood. An Eerie place early in the morning, when there is a mist down.This wood was the scene of some heavy fighting throught the war.
