Hello Jo

Ploegsteert! un endroit mytique pour tous les Flamands et les Ch'tis du Nord!
Haut lieu d'histoire il y a un siècle c'est aujourd'hui le rendez vous des amateurs de bonnes bières.
Hé oui, les temps ont changé.....
NB: en Français, ploegsteert = manche ou queue de charrue (une bière locale renommée d'ailleurs)

Ceci dit: respect pour le sergent Johnston.

Ploegsteert !! A mythical place for all Flemings and Ch'tis du Nord!
A great place of history a century ago today is the rendezvous of lovers of good beers.
Yes, times have changed.....
NB: in French, ploegsteert = handle or plow tail (a local beer renamed elsewhere)

That said: respect for Sergeant Johnston.
