My Wife and I travelled through this part of France in 1990, while on a tour. At that time, you could still see pillboxes all around, and the occasional tank shell, rusting in fields or placed as monuments.

Imagine being a part of this scene

Hi Tony,

A bit late but I just noticed myself driving by with the Dingo in picture 202! Together with my eldest daughter Pauline. We recognize a lot of the scenes and were in the same places at almost the same time. What a coincedence!

I enjoy your thread and the magnificent job you are doing.

Cheers,

Hello Marc,

It's never too late to come join in!

We're hoping to get back that way again some time. Will certainly take more notice (and photos) next time.

Thank you for the kind comments,
