Belgian Battlefields
... in arms once dead in the ground. Some pretty autumn colours in some of the trees at the back of this cemetery. A moving but peaceful visit. Sat Nav had difficulty directing us to Talbot House Museum in the centre of Poperinge as a set of one way streets had her beaten. Eventually we parked and walked into the centre of town only to find the museum closed -another disappointment. Headed north to find a second German cemetery near Vladslo.
