hello...i returned from a weeks holiday in france recently and i managed to visit thiepval and beaumont hamel..on the way back we drove past the Connaught cemetery and saw people working in there around the graves. they appeared to be excavating them rather than "gardening". sadly we didnt have time to talk to them as we were a bit pushed for time...my question is this a regular occurance and what can they have been looking for?....

They've been there for a while now Richard. General maintainance on the headstones. Some have been replaced, others cleaned, etc.
