Bailleul

Hello again everyone! 

We have been quiet for a while because we are now really struggling to gather content to represent the final hard-to-reach places in our blipper-sourced online photo album of places mentioned in Lorna Lloyd's Diary of the war (previously blipped in full in the LornaL journal).

Today, however, we came across this reference to Bailleul in a book. Bending our rules a little, this means we can now take this place off our list below. 

On 5th December 1940 Lorna reflects on the bombing of Bristol when she says 'Only too well can I imagine the desolation of these once prosperous streets.  After Bailleul at the age of six I don’t have to see what a ruined town looks like or smells like. Only this time I wonder if I shall ever dare to go and look.' Hear Lorna's great-great niece Bethany Ray narrate these words in Episode 7 of our podcast series. We also have a photo of Lorna in/near Bailleul on that trip to the World War I battle sites in 1920 when she was six years old.

Once more, here is the list of places that we still need to represent in our journal. Can you help us finish our project, please? If so, please do get in touch with h.hall@napier.ac.uk. 

Albania: Durrës (Durazzo)[1]
Egypt: Sidi Barrani[2]
Finland (2): Hanko (Hangö)[3]; Mannerheim Line
Germany: Heligoland[4]
Greece: Thermopylae[5]
Italy: Taranto[6]
Russia (3): Karelian Isthmus; Petsamo province (part of Finland until 1944); Vyborg (Viipuri in Finland until 1944)

[1] There is a restaurant with this name in London N8.
[2]  Sidi Barrani is named on some war memorials. For example, a blipper in or near Lichfield could photograph this one for us.
[3] Perhaps a Finnish blipper could help out with this location in the south of Finland?
[4] Also the name of a 2010 Massive Attack album - check the record collections of your friends and family!
[5] Are you in Paris? Are you going to Paris? Would you have time to pop into the Louvre to photograph Leonidas at Thermopylae by David for us?
[6] Are there any Quentin Tarantino DVDs in your house?

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this challenge so far:
