My grandad was there. Survived but with a permanent limp. One of the lucky ones. Uncanny, Mapletree. I was going to use exactly the same words in my post(except my grandad got his injury in the Battle of the Somme). I guess (literally) millions could say similar things, so maybe not so uncanny.
Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes) |

My uncle is buried just outside arras in a tiny village called Montreuil Sur huille, went there a few years back to pay my respects, one of the most emotional things I've done as I'm probably the only member of the family to visit, Never met him but sure he was only a teenager difficult to establish his year of birth. God bless you George

I stayed in Ypres last summer for the Euros & visited a few of my family who were lost in world war 1, there are cemetries everywhere in that region & brings home the sacrifices all them boys made.

I was in Arras a few years ago ,there is a bar , Le Celtic which is near the stn that shows Football round the clock though no chance of Arsenal v Palace though if there is a French league game on . Arras itself is a bit light on decent bars and the burger bar on the corner of the square is a good value feed if your not fine dining . Oh and don't drink the local cherry beer , its crap . Respects to Grandad
