Somme Tour





A line of warfare trenches. Picture them without grass, muddy and with coils of barbed wire on top.


 The Australian Memorial at Villiers Bretonneaux.  Beautiful and peaceful; birds chirping, breeze flowing.
 Lucas climbed the 135 staris to get to the top.


Damage to walls from Messerschmidt fire in WW II

Playground at Victoria School.  Inside the school hall, which is floored with Australian timber, are elaborate wood carvings of Australian Flora & Fauna and there is a Museum in the attic, which is very moving.
