At 11.00 am a plaque will be revealed at the cottage
where the cartoonist stayed for some time during the war and where he created some of his characters.
This is at Ploegsteert. It might well be very crowded there. Leave the car at the monument "with the lions".
A shuttle will take participants to the cottage. A reception is offered by Comines-Warneton town council.
At 14.00 a walk in and around Plug Street Wood, conducted by Piet Chielens, co-ordinator of
IFF-museum, will start at "the lions" again. The Friends of IFF
Museum will chose a walk (theme: Christmas Truces) as we know that some British
tour operators have planned coachrides in the region, which, taking into account the very narrow
roads, will certainly result in traffic jams! Wellies recommended!
N.B. The tours organised by the Friends of the IFF will be in Dutch.
