<p>[QUOTE="popsycat, post: 965200, member: 1904"]They wanted to go to the main Australian memorial. First stop along the way was Poziers cemetary. A lot of Australian graves there, including one containing 3 unknown Australian bodies. Passed a smaller Australian memorial. Next stop, logistically was Thiepval. They gave up the journey there. The graves, ages and names of all the dead, the carnage, destruction and devastation of the Somme, got to them. That was the end of their journey. They never made it to Australian memorial they wanted to visit. It was so overwhelming for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
