Hello everyone! We’ve just returned from a fantastic tour of the AEF’s battlefields. Travelling from the shell holed woodland of Belleau Wood to the old trenchlines near St.Mihiel and to the wooded hills of the Argonne brought home the sacrifice and valour of the AEF. 

A regular discussion point on the tour was battlefields which had left an impression. I thought it would be interesting to turn the question to the Dugout.

SO: Which battlefield - WWI or otherwise - has stayed with you the most, and why?

Was it the silence of a cemetery? A trenchline in the mist? A sudden emotional connection to a name on a memorial? Or even a tour that took an unexpectedly comical turn (perhaps with a cantankerous French coach driver)?

Let us know in the comments below!
