    Butte de Vauquois

    This hill is one of the most atmospheric places on the western front of WW1. The German tenches are being restored and it is the only plave that has the original wire revetments.

    These 2 photos are from the German tench system with machine gun post facing out across the massive craters created through tunnelling explosins towards the French lines

    Hope you enjoy looking at these

      These 2 photos are of, Hill 304 and the memorial on Mort Homme. I don`t spook easily, but I can believe in ghosts after I visited both these places. Trenches still in the woods, shell marked ground. Hill 304 has to be one of the saddest places on the western front. The memorial is to the 10,000 French men who fought to hold this hill and they are still there. A very, very eerie place where I always feel as if I am being watched. I have walked much of the western front of WW1 , visited Peipers run in the the Ardennes, the LAH in Normandy,the area around El Alamein, but Hill 304 has a very uneasy atmosphere to it.
