Moriaty Posted 6 July , 2009 Share Posted 6 July , 2009 Martin Thanks very much for the photographs of Etretat. It looks very different to the large cemeteries of the Somme. Moriaty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Bennitt Posted 6 July , 2009 Author Share Posted 6 July , 2009 Martin Thanks very much for the photographs of Etretat. It looks very different to the large cemeteries of the Somme. Moriaty You're welcome, it's a bijou cemetery, and one has to say it, Etretat is a pleasanter place for a day out than most of the towns on the Somme, but then it wasn't left a heap of ruins cheers Martin B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halibag3 Posted 6 July , 2009 Share Posted 6 July , 2009 Martin, thanks very much indeed for the cracking pics you brought back from Etretat. I haven't been there (yet) but the place is certainly a beaut by the look of it. To be added right away to the 'must do' list. Cheers.
