Wallonia

On our way back towards Brussels this morning, but not without a stop to look at the British during the Battle of the Bulge… @IstoriaTravel @SteveMarsdin @WhyBelgium

Because this trip is being run by two Belgophiles in self and @SteveMarsdin we have found time today to pay tribute to the Chasseurs Ardennais #Wallonia #Belgium 🇧🇪 🧗‍♀️ @WhyBelgium @IstoriaTravel

And of course… A must see couple of stops for the Battle of the Bulge @IstoriaTravel @militaryhistori @SteveMarsdin @WhyBelgium #Wallonia #Belgium

This afternoon we’ve been on the Band of Brothers trail… -#Wallonia #Belgium @WhyBelgium @SteveMarsdin @IstoriaTravel

We did make a detour… In honour of the first Frenchman killed on Belgian soil in #WW1. Part of General Sordet’s Magical Mystery Tour, died 111 years ago today. This French cavalry corps ambled round Belgium exhausting men & horses alike for no real gain in the first weeks of war

Today it’s the Battle of the Bulge and 1944-45. A bad day for Bomber command at Houffalize, but an even worse one for the civilians on the ground 🕯️ #Wallonia #Belgium #WW2 @SteveMarsdin @IstoriaTravel @WhyBelgium

Wallonia is full of “martyr towns”. In Éthe, one fifth of the civilian population was killed in the space of three days during the Battle of Frontiers. @WhyBelgium @IstoriaTravel @SteveMarsdin #WW1

The village memorial at Tintigny is stunning. The Collards were two young brothers helping the allies entitled to the British war medal. They were found out by the enemy and the executed for espionage #WW1 #Wallonia #Belgium @IstoriaTravel @SteveMarsdin @WhyBelgium @wallonia4ever

Great day at @MCNnews London bike show. Busy on the @WhyBelgium stand with Kraken Motorcycle Co. Finally a chance to see the new @DucatiUK Multistrada V2 as well….
