Day 2 #4 THSBattlefields23
The rest of our second day was spent at Thiepval Memorial to the Missing and Ocean Villas.
Thiepval has a very special significance as Mrs Stocks’ Great uncle’s name, A. E Scarr, at the Battle of Ancre. Tim, Mr Coyle and Miss Griffiths organised for a small Act of Remembrance in his honour which was an amazing experience. Thank you so much to Freya and Ryan for placing the wreath on behalf of THS and Mrs Stocks’ family.
After a lovely dinner at Ocean Villas cafe, our guide Tim took us through a show and tell session all about the kit a British soldier would have worn. A huge thank you to Adam for being a great sport and putting on all the kit – even the gas mask!
