No fog for a change. I left Arras and shared the streets with people going to work and school children. Todays walk was very good. For a change the French got it right. Empty country roads and farm tracks. I came across the first war grave.

About 400 graves. Also a reminder that the Indian army contributed soldiers. Not only that. I know that 80000 Indian soldiers remained after the armestice to clear the trenches. They were all very young, most about 19 years old.

The path went along a disused railway line. Nice and level and shaded by trees on each side.

I jumped a little when I discovered the object below.

An unexploded 15cm artillery shell. Yes the explosives is still inside, but the timer fuse on the front was probably faulty. It was marked, so someone will come and do a controled explosion. Further on the fuse remained after the shell had exploded and was put on a stick.

The agricultural fields are vast, beyond the horizon. It was still very windy and now I see many mor wind generators.

The night quarter was in a bad ** hotel, but cheap, I get what I pay for.

However good breakfast and they still do proper Caffe noir here, none of this Americano stuff.
