Battlefields Tour #6 - WWI .... Sanctury Wood
We started Wednesday off by going to Sanctury Wood The name was earned because it was an area where soldiers who had been "displaced" during the fighting could re-group before heading back to their regimental location.
When the original owner set up this museum it was soon after the end of the war. he had returned, and already noticed that there were relatives visiting to find their loved-one's graves. He decided to save some of the trenches, and items as he knew that people would want to know what life was like for the soldiers.
The museum is more organised than my last visit ... but it is still moving to walk through the trenches ... maybe I was walking in Granddad's footsteps.
Just showing how easy it was that it would turn muddy
