Just south of Bapaume we stopped at the NZ monument at Longueval. We were here 2 years ago with Ash and Lee and I thought this would be a good chance to apologize to the farmer for Ash tickling his potatoes. Joking, they were too small! We slept the night here, a very moving place and the site where NZ had its first battle in France . The Somme.
The cemetery nearby has over a 1000 kiwis but unidentified . The unknown soldier in Wellington came from this spot.
You've probably guessed that WW1 is a bit of a hobby horse of ours.
Oh , the new mattress was tres bien, but since we were half cut when we went to bed it wouldn't have mattered anyway.
