    Givenchy-en-Gohelle, Cdn Cemetery, Franc

    June 26, 2018 in France ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    This is a Canadian WW1 Cemetery that is located right at the edge of where John Kennedy fought at Vimy Ridge. We had to hike in to it. Along the way we were seeing craters in the woods from the bombings much like in the Vimy park. We also spotted 4 barbed wire posts left in the woods. We reached the cemetery and it was incredibly well maintained. We continued hiking further as Doug was hoping to spot landmarks and find some shrapnel balls. He had no luck but we did find poppies growing wild.Read more
