Picardy visual mediocrity

Amiens on La Somme






One of the many WW1 grave sites in Villes Breton... 60,000 Australians died around this area. Local people are still finding shrapnel - even live grenades and bombs - as much as 50 tonnes a year. In some fields, they still find bones and human remains. It's totally incomprehensible.


This school was rebuilt by money raised by Australian children who had lost their fathers/brothers in the war.


This is a massive bomb crater in Pozieres.
