Looks really good I met Johan who wrote Beneath Flanders Fields at his pub beside Polygon Wood some years ago and showed us his personal collection and then took us on a personal tour of the Flemish War memorial and museum A good man and if your in the area it is definitely worth popping into his pub for a chat |
