We stopped at the Thiepval museum and memorial. It’s a memorial that honours the over 72,000 missing British and South African men who died with no known graves. (WWI)

On to Ocean Villas, real name Auchonvillers but the British coined it Ocean Villas. Original WWI trenches have been excavated and restored.




Walking the trenches
We spent that evening in the city of Amiens (population approximately 137,000) and had a lovely evening wandering around.

Along the roadside, I love the poppies mixed in with other flowers 
Notre Dame (Amiens) Cathedral 
Inside the Cathedral 
Town Square 


River runs through the town, much like where I live 
Next stop….. we travel south through Normandy and to the City of Rouen and the City of Caen.
