Thanks and solemn memorials to you ANZACs from the American cousins. Here's a picture of the AIF Cemetery in Flers, the Somme region of France.

The area was initially a German headquarters but was taken by the Kiwis in 1916 and held with the Aussies until it was lost in the German 1918 Offensive. The Australians and New Zealanders retook it again before the end of the war. That's four changes of control.

We visited the Somme two years ago and stayed at a bed and breakfast just up the road from here.
