Morris Minor Owners Club

Off to do a WW1 trenches tour next week in Picardy. Seemed important as it's 100yrs since the end of the Great War and I've got ancestors to pay my respects to. Really pleased that they are also taking us to the German cemeteries and trenches.
Apparently the hotel is good on chips and mayonnaise....

Irrespective of chips and mayo, that must be a great trip to make, especially if ancestry takes you there too.

I'm unsure why but the soon-to-be Mrs PB (mixed Glaswegian/Staffordshire ancestry) had expressed a wish to visit the sites and remains of the former Nazi extermination camps in Poland.

Excellent idea! When travelling now and again in northern France and Belgium , perhaps on the way to the english Ferry, if you know where, it is somewhat comforting to know as you Speed along that 100years later, there is no hindrance to your movement any more. However no visible sign either that the trench warfare ever took place.
I may go and look around Verdun later this year in the Morris if I get the chance. Probably the decisive battle of the western front where so many People died. Very sobering.

Great trip. Long days but learned so much.
All those young men....
