Michael Johnson Posted 20 August , 2008 Share Posted 20 August , 2008 Postcard I can find no trace of a British cemetery at N.D. de Lorette. Was it moved, or is this a misnaming, perhaps of the one at La Targette? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 20 August , 2008 Share Posted 20 August , 2008 That's not at Notre Dame de Lorette but in nearby Ablain St Nazaire. It could be the Sucrerie Cemetery but I am not sure the position is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootrock Posted 20 August , 2008 Share Posted 20 August , 2008 At the bottom of the card it says it is Cabaret Rouge cemetery. Regards, Martin Edit: I am looking at the wrong picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Reed Posted 20 August , 2008 Share Posted 20 August , 2008 Well, that seems pretty conclusive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted 21 August , 2008 Author Share Posted 21 August , 2008 Michelle, I'm having a hard time orienting myself from your picture. Is that N.D. de Lorette at the top of the frame? And what town is that at the foot of the hill? What direction are you looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 21 August , 2008 Admin Share Posted 21 August , 2008 Hi Michael N D de Lorette is at the top of the hill; you can see the chapel and tower. The village is Ablain St Nazaire, with the old church which was destroyed during WW1 and not rebuilt in mid photo. Not sure which direction I was looking compass wise though. The church looks like it tallies with the postcard. The new church is nowhere near the old one, the locals apparently call the old church the ruins.
