A church congregation travelled more than 300 miles to return the relic from England to France.
By Simon Hare and Caroline LowbridgeA group of people have travelled more than 300 miles from England to France to return a crucifix retrieved from the rubble of a church in World War One.
The idea to return it came from a 16-year-old boy in the congregation, who discovered the church had been rebuilt. "He looked online and saw it had been rebuilt and said, 'Why don't we take it back?' Suddenly we have a day like today and it feels like the right thing to. The church is in Doingt, one of many settlements wiped from the map as the French and British armies fought Germany.
