Road to Bois Jacques 25032009

The road leading to the Bois Jacques woods just outside of the village of Foy. This video shows the driving snow and lets you hear the hard biting wind .

This video was done on the 25th March 2009. My friend Pete and I walked from Bastogne to Foy in the snow. We then visited Recogne, the site of the Germans Graves and the monument of the site American graves until they were relocated 1948.

After that we then went into Foy and took the road heading to Bizroy and entered the Bois Jacques. In these woods you can still see the Fox holes dug by Easy Company. The woods are eerie and silent. Some of these holes looked a little to fresh to be the original Easy Company ones (1 or 2) but, the original ones can still be seen if you look around.

We then left the woods and carried on heading for Bizroy Taking in the sights of the Easy Company monument. After Bizroy we headed back to Bastogne and had a good look around the American monument just outside of Bastogne. In total we walked over 10 miles in what was some times driving snow.

I cannot wait to go back again some time; the experience will stay with me for ever. I salute all who, in whatever part, were involved in the fierce Battle of the Bulge.
