AmazingWWI trench system at Beaumont-Hamel, France today. This was an area which was unsuccessfully attacked on the 1st July 1916, the opening day of the Battle of the Somme. Anything Somme tugs at my heart-strings a bit as one of my family was lost on that first morning assault and to this day has no-known grave.
Sobering that the scars of over a 100 years ago are still visible in the landscape...
