Of interest - I was at the Guynemer memorial in Poelcapelle on Tuesday 11 Sept 2007, the 90th anniverary of his death and was surprised to find nothing to note the event, not a flower or a wreath. However, I discovered that there was to be a celebration at the memorial on the Saturday - the 15th. By then I was back in England. It would have been nice, however, if someone from the town had at least put something there on the 11th. Normanf
PS. When asked what further decorations he could possibly receive from his country, Guynemer is supposed to have replied - a wooden cross! Sadly that was denied him.
