Delville Wood South African National Memorial

👍👍 South African government needs to do some work or let the Commonwealth War Graves Commission take over running the monument.

Ulster Memorial Tower
Historical landmark
👍👍 As close to a "success" as the allies got to on the infamous 1st day of the Battle of the Somme, 1st July 1916. The Ulster division would have come charging up the hill from the wood behind you as you are entering the entrance gates to the tower. Even the brave Ulstermen had to abort in the end. Nob...
