We did the opposite last November, but that was the 100th Anniversary of the Armistice.
Even a Century later it is obvious why casualties were appalling!
Aside from the battlefields and memorials we did some tourist side trips, our next Euro trip we will spend time in Bruges, one of the best kept secrets I had never heard of.

We made a few Great War related stops on the return trip to Paris. Several of the US cemeteries and battle locations.
The 100th anniversary of the Armistice stuff was beginning to get set up in spring already.
The main focus of our trip was militaria but we took in some older historical stops too.
