Yes Nick, been quite a few times since 1992, normally on my way back from other trips as it isn`t far off the Dunkirk to Lille motorway.

I have an interest in the LAH and in particular Jochen Peiper who was involved nearby assaulting the Wattenburg crossing the Aa canal at Watten.

The BBC did a programme about the Wormhoudt incident some time back and interviewed a couple of the survivors who had served with the Royal Warwicks.
