Day 1 - Some background

To give some information on what I have planned for us to visit I have been googling.

So here is Day 1.

Newfoundland Memorial Park: http://www.greatwar.co.uk/somme/memorial-newfoundland-park.htm 

Ulster Memorial Tower:  http://www.greatwar.co.uk/somme/memorial-36-division-ulster-tower.htm

Thiepval: http://www.greatwar.co.uk/somme/memorial-thiepval.htm

Pozières Tank Memorial: http://www.greatwar.co.uk/somme/memorial-tank-corps.htm

Lochnagar Crater: http://www.greatwar.co.uk/somme/memorial-lochnagar-crater.htm

With the best will in the world getting to all of these plus Albert and a lunch stop in the Tommy Cafe near Pozières might be a push.

Still, I prefer to be over engineered and be able to drop things from the schedule than not have enough to keep everyone engaged.
