Incredible place. Lovely to visit. Hard to believe it was totally flattened a couple of times.

We’ve been meaning to make the trip for some time to pay our respects. It’s a lovely place to visit, but humbling and sobering at the same time.

I've wanted to go for a while, but don't want to be there with too much of the centenary commemorations going on and the resulting crowds. I'd rather be there to experience it like it is normally.
