Muerrisch Posted 26 April , 2004 Share Posted 26 April , 2004 I wonder if my notebook is unique? I take a minibus full of [equally geriatric] friends to the battlefields most years. There is a need to know if parking is near enough and adequate, not to say safe. And the unmentionable ...... is there cover for a comfort stop somewhere near. [NOT I would add in the CWGC itself, quite unthinkable]. Including the ladies. I bet others have Cemeteries with big NoNos and big Yesses on these aspects. Notebook might just be publishable ................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinWills Posted 28 April , 2004 Share Posted 28 April , 2004 Apparently there are no facilities at Fort Douaumont or Fort Vaux even for the staff there, but at least it is well forested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Hesketh Posted 28 April , 2004 Share Posted 28 April , 2004 It could be worse. A recent notice pinned up in my school said 'Toilets Closed. Please use the floor below'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brummy Posted 29 April , 2004 Share Posted 29 April , 2004 What do the CWGC gardeners do for comfort stops? Hi Kate, In Belgium behind that tree, the other side of the wall or if your lucky and its summer in that corn field. Although the situation had started to improve when I left the CWGC (about a year and a half ago) once the Gardeners and stone masons where away from their base site in Belgium it was a case of TSB.

Kate Wills Posted 29 April , 2004 Share Posted 29 April , 2004 Brummy, I thought that might be the case. Certainly, I have been obliged to slope off to some suitably discreet spot before now. I take it that adding an extra dash of nitrates to the compost heap is, well, acceptable in extremis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Never bothered me exept in late autumn and early winter When the heaps are moved and fresh deposits have not had time to rot away naturaly. I am going to make this my last post on this subject before it gets me in trouble . Brum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CROONAERT Posted 1 May , 2004 Share Posted 1 May , 2004 A lot of the (bigger) kriegsgraberfursorge cemeteries have excellent toilet facilities (with toilet seats!!!). Is that any help? Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
