emotional day so far.<\/p>\n<p>The group visited Menin Gate, Buttes, and Tyne Cot cemeteries where hundreds of Australians &#8211; including many former South Burnett residents &#8211; lay buried.<\/p>\n<p>They placed small red poppies on graves they identified before leaving the South Burnett.<\/p>\n<p>After visiting the three World War I cemeteries in Flanders, they drove through France to Dunkirk, the site of the evacuation of British and allied forces after the fall of France to the Nazis in 1940.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a
