Royal_Dragoon_Guard Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Hello everybody, nice to be back again after a little (unplanned) absence ! Just wondered whether any of you had done a tour of N. France coastal battlefields/sites of interest away from Normandy. We are planning a trip leaving next tuesday (I only just made it !), going north from here along the coast upto Dieppe, Boulougne, Calais, Dunkirk, then up into Holland to the Schelt estuary area. If we have time we might get to Arnhem. I'd love to go there. We've got a long list of places to call in at !Including - 39-45 Museum at Ambleteuse Todt Battery at Cap Griz Nez Railway gun exhibit ? at Fortress De Mimoyecques V2 site near St. Omer Dunkirk Museum Phew !! I feel tired already. Just wondered if any of you fellas had been to any of these and what you thought? Have we missed any in these general areas ? I would like to say thanks to the kind gentleman who sent me that excellent Hill 112 scenario too, when I get back I'll be giving it a proper go. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
