So I’ve done a bit of travelling in the past around Europe’s battlefield sites like Flanders, Somme and part of the Ardennes. A few months ago, I was in Normandy and it crossed my mind more than a few times as to what it would be like to live there. I’m guessing there must be an economic boost through battlefield tourism, family visiting graves of fallen soldiers etc, but I suspect the numbers of people, traffic and wading through armies of school children probably grates after a while. Would also be interested to hear if having such reminders of these battles and conflicts triggers any personal feelings or sentiment as well.
