Day 2 Tuesday - Apr 20, 2016

A sunny day, by afternoon it got up to 16c, but it was a cool start at 6c in the morning.

Today we are going to explore a number of WWI sites and will also go to Ypres in Belgium.

This church was located near Ypres, I got find the exact name, there is a story of Hilter painting this church.

Our first stop was at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery 

The site in 1914-1920 was was the venue of the biggest evacuation hospital in the Ypres Salient area.

Evening concluded at an excellent restaurant in Arras.

Which was used by Canadian Forces in 1914-1919 for R&R, the entire square and all the buildings are connected by a system of underground tunnels, so it was very fitting to have dinner in this historic place.
