battle of loos Posted 13 May , 2020 Author Share Posted 13 May , 2020 good morning, I hadn't thought about it. I met one of the members of this group in September 2019 in Loos during a presentation of the Battle of Loos. when I was a teenager, I worked in the Loos underground near the "loos british cemetery". regards michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
