    As part of the celebrations of the Battle of the Somme in 1916, I created the files so you can discover the different places of the fighting, as well as the various places of memories for tablets or phones.
    The files work on Google Earth and Maps too.

    I wish you in advance a stay in the Somme and I hope the files will help you in your visit.
