04/05/2015 An emotional day following the Battle of th Somme.

Maximum temperature at Albert 20C, minimum 15 C. Dry.

The Thiepval Memorial, the largest war memorial in the world, commemorates almost 73,000 soldiers who died on the Somme battlefields. 
We discovered one family member.

Looking across the Somme fields.

The Australian War Memorial.

The Canadian War Memorial.

Ulster's War Memorial.

And close to my heart, and to me the most peaceful,  South Africa's war memorial.
