    Cheers Dave,

    Anything and everything. Even French and Belgium Armies as well as the BEF like you posted. Do you have an address for the Bastogne one.

    I've seen a few of the more obvious ones but there must be a lot more.

    I take it that you won't be wanting the 'usual' memorials (Dunkirk, Wormhoudt,Calais KRRC etc)? I've got a good selection from elsewhere on the ext.HD on my other PC which I'll go through later (areas around Gent, more Ardennes (French & Belgian), Holland,French Flanders, Alsace etc)

    From my Ardennes thread.

    Near the Hotel de Ville in Vielsalm is this memorial to the Chasseurs Ardennais .
    They did their best to stop the Germans in 1940.

    Opposite No. 16-18 Zeelaan in De Panne. In the Town Hall is a collection of memorials remembering Lord Gort's final HQ which was No. 16-18 Zeelaan.

    Found another on this particular HD...

    Hurtebise Farm, Chemin des Dames (another one of those little pockets of history that seem to get fought over time and time again over the centuries - in this case 1814, 1914-18 and 1940)
