We had a cracking tour....great riding and good company, with enough recognisable landmarks from the 1940 Flanders campaign to keep us focussed.

This was Asse where 15/19th Hussars effectively entered an ambush after Belgian troops on the right flank withdrew early. Neither Montgomery who was commanding 3 Div (of which 15/19H was Divisional Cavalry) nor Alanbrooke commanding 2 Corps ever admitted responsibility for this disaster.



We had a spot of assistance from the local Police in stopping traffic so that we could line up the next image...





The casualty lies buried in Asse. A Bombardier from an Anti-Tank regiment.

Brilliant pictures, but I notice you didn't show full commitment in the middle of the road.

I dare say the watching policeman would have written a ticket and we'd have ended up with a bill from the fire brigade for hosing down the road surface !
