Thanks again for everyone who took the time to respond. I had a fantastic trip and was pleasantly surprised that many of crossing locations have changed very little.

Here are a few photos from the trip, starting with the weir at Houx where the first troops of Army Group A reached the west bank of the Meuse on the evening of 12th May.

A 10 minute walk south from Houx...

Here is Bouillon with tanks crossing the Semois.

Moving on to the Sedan crossings now. Donchery was the crossing point of the 2nd Panzer Division.

The 1st Panzer Division crossed the Meuse between Floing and Glaire.

Wadelincourt was the crossing point for 10th Panzer Division.

I hoped to be able to retrace the route taken by Walter Rubarth who won the Knights Cross when he and his small squad knocked out several bunkers in the area.

Unfortunately a combination of a very active railway line, high fences and numerous no entry signs stopped me from getting close to the remains of the bunkers taken by Rubarth.

The photos show Bunker 220 and in the business park adjacent there appears to be what look like further installations built at the same time.

If anyone has more photos of the bunkers at Wadelincourt please let me know as it was the one place where I felt I missed "something".

Thanks for looking and again thanks guys for your help in making my trip very successful.
