Visiting The Somme Battlefields

Next year is the 90th Anniversary of end of World War I, and many travellers will make the pilgrimage to honour the Fallen. An article in The Australian is great overview of the Australian Battlefields and Memorials found in France and Belgium. We visited The Somme region last July, and was struck by what a small area covers so many battlefields. If you are planning a trip to Europe, spare a day to recall their sacrifice.
