    RIP - HILL 80

    After a few years of excavations in Flanders Fields in Belgiumicon, where a proposed housing estate is to be built, they have found over 170 WW1 Britishicon & Germanicon soldiers buried, and thousands of artefacts, many personal, such as a Teddy Bear and items from home.

    As an ex soldier, I am so pleased and proud of the men and women that have pain stakingly excavated this site sympathetically, and provided these men with a propoer grave and full Military Honours after 100 years in the cold!
    RIP
