The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Goodby Paul D
I am really looking forward to it . Staying in the Ibis in Albert so will not be far from the front line as it was then
Cheers
Unfortunately as with all the anniversaries where the "great and the good" turn up it will be a jamboree on the 1st July , hopefully there will be more room to move around the Battlefield without all the no go zones on the other days !

Do you ever meet up with the American author, Michael LoCicero on your travels to the battlefields? He is a good friend of mine.
Yes I know what you mean Paul, I remember what the D-Day 70th was like 2 years ago !! I think the security zone restrictions are lifted by midday on July 2nd so hopefully will not be so bad by then.
Here is a map of the security zones, they cannot be entered without a pass after 8:00pm on the 30th June until midday July 2nd, I am pretty certain that is correct, but it may have changed, I will have to confirm.
Cheers
Yes that's the one i have !
