If you're interested, during my basic training we restored some WW1 training trenches at RAF Halton. There are some further down the tree line that are left as they were found, but we excavated the original training lines and rebuilt the entire thing. It's now open for visits I believe.

Some times I have to remind myself there are still No Go zones in France because of this war. It makes me sad every time.

We did a battlefield tour in Flanders a few years ago and it was incredible. A lot of these fields with the trench hills were originally thick forest, and all that was left after the war was a barren wasteland. A lot of the farmers there have iron plates installed on the bottoms of their tractors because they still turn up live shells on the regular.
