Sirs, I am seeking some expert opinion please. I am based in Belgium and at last have the opportunity to visit WWI historic sites. Could anyone recommend some key places to visit, a sort of top 10 'must see' locations, particularly as I will be taking my 11 year old son too. I know there are some interesting Belgian forts to see too but wish to be a little bit selective.
Huge thanks.

Does anyone know please what are the differences between an infantry used MG08/15 and the version placed inside the German tanks of WWI? I have seen an 08/15 with trunions but assume this is for use in pillboxes/fortifications. Belgians used captured WWI MG08/15 in their forts and 'added' pieces to them. I am assuming for German WWI tank use there may be no butt stock, or different ammunition feeds or indeed different water cooling system etc etc.
VMT for any help.
