On Site at Fromelles

On Saturday 7 June locals donned their gum boots to visit the site of the archaeological dig at Pheasant Wood Fromelles in France. Although the area had received heavy rain overnight the rain held off for the site visit.

The photo below from Carole Laignel, Secretary of the Fromelles Museum ( F.W.T.M 14-18 ) shows the locals and visitors gathering under grey skies.

It may not have rained during the visit by the locals of Fromelles but the rain has certainly made working conditions on the excavation site very difficult. Modern day duckboards have been put into action.

Excavation work continues in the mud:

CALL BACK TOMORROW FOR UPDATES AND MORE PHOTOS OF THE VISIT
