Cassel

52nd Airborne · 11-05-2008, 10:03 PM

Evening all!

I'm off to Belgium on Thursday and I have some time to kill on the Friday so I thought I would go and have a look around Cassel and see where the 145th Brigade made a stand in May 1940.

I've never visited the town before so, is there anything in particular I should look out for?

Have you got a map of their positions?
A good one on here.

Yes, I have that one.

Cheers.

Thought you might , Lyndon.
Have a good trip and post lots of pictures on your return.
I haven't been to Cassel for about 18 years, I must return there someday.

Cheers Owen,

No problem, I'll post some photos on my return (end of next week).
