The Battlefields from Above | WW1 France & Belgium | DJI Phantom Drone/Osmo Handheld

This is a short edit from my recent trip to the WW1 battlefields in Belgium and France in June 2017. Hopefully there will be a few more videos to follow this one giving a bit more detail about some of the places we visited along with some more footage. I have been to some of these locations before, but the ability to get a birds eye view of some of the locations makes them even more breathtaking than I could've ever imagined. Before filming in these historic locations I checked with the relevant authorities for permission to fly the Phantom at these locations. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) agreed that I could fly; whereas it is strictly forbidden at all the Canadian Memorials in accordance with Canadian National Park rules. Locations in this video (not in the order they appear); Vimy Ridge (Canadian National Memorial) Tyne Cot Cemetery [The largest CWGC cemetery in the world] Thiepval Memorial to the Missing (of the Somme) [The largest CWGC monument in the world] Toronto Avenue Cemetery - CWGC Mud Corner Cemetery - CWGC Prowse Point Cemetery* - CWGC Hyde Park Corner Cemetery & Royal Berkshire Extension - CWGC Spanbroekmolen Mine Crater (Pool of Peace) - Talbot House Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery - CWGC Lone Tree Cemetery - CWGC *An interesting point to note is that Prowse Point Cemetery is the only WW1 cemetery the Ypres Salient to be named after a person and not a place. This is due to the heroism of Major Charles Prowse. It is also the location of where the 1914 'Christmas Truce Game of Football' took place. More information about the Royal British Legion can be found at https://www.britishlegion.org.uk Thanks to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission for allowing me to film at these locations.
