    Hey Sander, how are you? It's great seeing Rob and other UA-camrs.
    I'd love to visit the Berks Cemetery Extension. Somber, powerful place and it's well maintained.
    Interesting how the French spelling differs from the spelling in English, but is also very similar.
    The Christmas Truce memorial monument is amazing too. I agree, it's powerful.
    Very cool how a lead ball was found too.
    Whoa! That's neat how a portion of a shell was there too. Cool how there is still wineglass also.
    It's amazing how much can still be found >100 years after the war ended.
    What kind of pizza did you have :)? That's cool how you and other UA-camrs had a chill time.
    I want to read "The Longest Winter". I would like to read the Pacific War trilogy :).
    Haha great banter between everyone.
    Looks like a pretty cool house to stay at.
    Great information and background from Chris.
    Very helpful info about the Somme and the cemeteries. The drone footage is excellent. So sad how there are so many graves though. Very somber. 60,000...That was hard to process (the number of casualties on the first day).
    :( I'm heartbroken to hear Horace Iles' sister's letter. I've heard it before, but it breaks my heart each time I hear it. It's tragic that he died so young.
    I could hear the birds chirping. The bigger cemetery looks so peaceful. Definitely staggering when I think about how it was 100 years before with the fighting.
    Lots of cool relics. It's awesome how so much was found in 20 minutes.
    Great photos from Rob. I remember hearing about the farmer from Rob too.
    Chris gave a lot of great information about the battlefield too.
    Wow. Incredible to see the artillery piece next to the memorial park. You provided great information also, especially about how many are buried where they were killed. I agree - it's very tragic how many were killed.
    That's cool that there is a map of the battlefield there too. Nice shots of the craters. Man, the packs are so heavy...
    Cool video, Sander! Great work again. Have a wonderful weekend.

    Why don't you use Metal Detectors ?

      No need for one. It would go off at every meter probably
