MrT Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Spoiler Went there last Thursday. Took my son and 2 Hibs friends. We toured Ypres and the Somme area after the Belgium Scotland game. Highly recommended. I put some maroon and white flowers beside the Cairn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
