Butte de WarlencourtThe Butte de Warlencourt is one of the most iconic features of the Great War. It was destined to be bulldozed to make way for housing by French developers but was bought by the Western Front Association 24 years ago from a local farmer for £7,500 in a bid to preserve it for future generation. The plan is to transform it into a 'must visit' location.Contributed by:
