The Glory Hole is a fascinating site, quickly becoming a must-see location for those visiting the Somme battlefields. Visitors are always made welcome when the team are on site.

Here are some photographs from last week: http://s21.photobuck...ect - May 2012/

Hi Simon.
The Somme branch of the WFA unfortunately have no further dates available this year, as all of our meeting dates are now filled, however we would hope to be offered another opportunity in 2013.
If you check the La Boisselle project web site, all open days are posted in advance.

Hello Tim,

A public thanks for what felt like a near private tour. Appologies for letting the rest wait so long on the surface.

On a more private note: were the girls dissapointed when they didn't see any fairies?

Regards,

Marco
