We did our annual tour to the Somme last week.
Again I did some then and now photo' s.
To find the location of this photo I went to the local cafe for help.
The pond in front of the houses has disappeared and the Mairie has now been
built opposite the houses. To take it from the same place as the original
photographer was not possible. Then the right building was a cafe and on the present
photo the word cafe is also on the building.
