    I was in Belgium last week and was able to find Noel Chavasse's grave in Brandhoek New Cemetery, which is just outside Ypres. Judging by the amount of crosses which are planted on his grave, it receives quite a few visits.

    I also visited the Liverpool Scottish Stone, which marks their jumping off position on the attack at Hooge in 1915. In France I took a picture of the memorial commemorating the capture of Montauban from the Germans by the Kings Liverpool and Manchester regiments on the disastrous 1st July 1916. They were two of the few regiments which achieved their objective on that day.
