G'day
My name is Yves Fohlen..
I am a Froggy...and for almost 28 years I have been studying the Great
War. I focused my study about the British and Australian war effort. I
really feel to owe a debt of gratitude towards those who came from
OZ...and suffered.. and gave their lives for my Freedom. I never miss
an opportunity to visit a British cemetery.
As a professional
battlefield guide.. I am used to welcome Australian pilgrims and also
to help Australian historians...and for instance I was the guide of
Major John Phelan and Lieut Col Michael Byrne 42nd AIF Bn...OFFICERS
in the unit ..We spent a day in Picardy where the unit fought. IT WAS
A VERY MOVING DAY. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER they made me honorary
member of the unit ASSOCIATION...so I am in touch with the association
members in Rockhampton.
I
am also used to guide and help Michael Goodwin and the Mackay's mob in
their Remembrance trips. I am mentioned in their web site.
The 42nd Bn...was a
great unit.. and I am used to visit the graves of those who gave their lives
for my Liberty. I have at home several photos of their graves.. would
you like to have them ?...Today I have been to Tincourt Boucly..
I have taken photos of the graves of those buried their. Please give
me your snail mail address.. I shall forward them to you.
An other idea should be
to take in photo the 42nd Bn battlefields ..today
Hope that you will be
interested
Regards.. and
congratulations for your excellent website.
