The "canadians street" that goes from igoville to the plateau that overlook the the village. It is the way used by the canandians to go to the north toward les authieux (where my grand parents used to lived)

Incredible pictures Alain. Merci a thousand times over. It means so much to be able to see some of the sights Lorne saw on his last day. I will pass these on to some of the Vets that are still with us. They will be thrilled to see them.

Thanks again George

Had a good flick through the book.
It looks rather good, love the photos, especially one Then & Now shot.
I'd recommend it to anyone researching a relative, lots of valuable lessons in how to do it in there.

Thanks George for mentioning this forum & it's members on page 315, very kind words indeed .
