TUESDAY 4TH JUNE - FRANCE

We are now in France at Amiens having made an emotional journey via Fromelles

and Bullecourt where we stopped for a coffee only to find the sign below on a shed in the little village

and Bernafay where one of Bernie's great uncles is buried. It is known that his remains are buried in the cemetery but it is not known where in the cemetery he is.

After arriving at our accommodation in suburban Amiens, we headed for the old town and the Notre Dam Cathedral, much bigger than its namesake in Paris and relatively undamaged during World War One.

Like so many places in this part of the world, it also commemorates the contribution of the Australian soldiers during the war.

 

 Tomorrow we head for the famous Villiers Bretonneau.
