We went to the world war one
battlefields in Belgium and
France. We will tell you about
it.
We had the best tour guides
ever. We got to handle some
equipment from the war.
On the first day we got up
early. We went to Belgium. We
visited a cemetery. We went to
our hotel and we unpacked our
stuff. Later we went to go to a
memorial and it was really
shocking to see how many
people lost their lives in the
great war.
In the evening we attended the
daily last post ceremony at the
Menin Gate. This was very
moving. The memorial records
the names of 54,406 soldiers
from Britain, Australia,
Canada, South Africa and India
who lost their lives and have
no grave. We went in the
trenches that were used in the
war.
Lijssenthoek cemetery
We went to the Thiepval
memorial which was very
moving. We made a clay
memorial for the people of
Belgium.
