    Hey Sander, how are you?
    LOL hilarious clip with Chris at the beginning where you were being like a nature narrator.
    It's sad how so many (72,000) do not have a known grave :(.
    Lol I too would buy a lot of books there. The museum is great.
    The machine gun is well preserved. So is the shrapnel. So many lead balls too.
    The plane is cool!
    So many shell holes...
    I need to see your Somme documentary.
    Beautiful memorial.
    It's a huge monument too. It's sad and incredible how many names there are.
    The memorial is well maintained and beautiful, I agree.
    It's also staggering how many of the missing were from just four months of the war.
    LOL Marcel is funny :).
    The crater is huge. It's one of the biggest ones that I've seen on UA-cam.
    60,000...Man. No wonder the crater is so huge.
    Excellent clip!
    I'd like to visit the church :).
    The empty chair is very powerful, I concur.
    It's understandable that they hesitated at first, but I can't imagine the horrors that they experienced.
    I second you. The memorial flag is great.
    Excellent information from Rob. It's great seeing the locations today and to see where the front lines were located (ti's very helpful, especially since I'm a visual learner).
    Powerful and excellent memorial for the Devonshires.
    I want to visit the Deveonshire Cemetery also. It's staggering to see so many graves from the first day. Rob gave helpful info.
    Chris' narration was superb. Moving piece. It hit my heart. So powerful. Very moving. I've heard it before, but it hits my heart each time...
    It's wonderful how Shawn/Sean (sp?) was able to find graves of troops from his hometown.
    Powerful cemetery.
    Wow, I didn't know Rob's great grandfather served in the Somme.
    Superb video. Kudos, Sander :). Take care.
