Hi Tony

Great Article in the newspaper.
I will be over on the Somme the middle weekend of September. Doing exactly what you do. Been going for twenty years now. Have we ever bumped into each other?

Yes! WE met over by High Wood a few years ago and one of your lot had a West Brom hat on and Wolves were playing them that weekend. Wolves lost! Also met same week in Le Tommy along with a BBC TV crew?
