After a quick morning of Paris sightseeing, it was on the train again for the short trip to Amiens (120 km to the north) ready for Sunday morning's Anzac Day celebrations at the nearby village of Villers Britonneux. Both our grandfathers fought here in World War I, though they arrived a year after the blood curdling Battle of the Somme, where over a million men were killed... 600,000 allied troops, and 400,000 Germans.
