Attached are some pictures from a few weeks ago. The area around Calais is packed with bunkers and fortifications, including the remains of the cross Channel guns and hide-outs for the Railway cannons, also able to propell shells across to the UK. The Canadians were in charge of silencing these guns, some of which stayed active right to the end.

Calais Canadian War Cemetery. The War cemetery is actually right opposite a famous service station "Site des deux caps" along the freeway.
