Seadog Posted 6 April , 2010 Share Posted 6 April , 2010 Hi Michelle, do you mean that someone came up to you whilst you were in the cemetery and told you not to take photos if so why?. I take it that you could have taken general pics from outside the place as there would be nothing to stop you from doing this.

roel22 Posted 6 April , 2010 Share Posted 6 April , 2010 I assume the 2 meter+ high screen, which starts at the road, is still there. (by the way: this is an animation, would be surprised if it already looks like this) Roel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted 6 April , 2010 Share Posted 6 April , 2010 Bit confused here, is the cemetery open to the public? and if anyone has a photo of what it actually looks like now please post (with or without screens). Regards Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roel22 Posted 6 April , 2010 Share Posted 6 April , 2010 Official opening july 19th, at the 94th anniversary of the battle. Don't think anybody will be allowed to visit the cemetery before that date. Roel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted 6 April , 2010 Share Posted 6 April , 2010 Thanks Roel that sounds reasonable. I just wonder why Michelle was treated in the way she was, I presume that this took place inside the cemetery. Regards Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Michelle Young Posted 6 April , 2010 Admin Share Posted 6 April , 2010 I wasn't able to get in, the gates were locked and a security guard said I was not allowed to take photos. Looks like work is progressing well though. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw Posted 9 April , 2010 Share Posted 9 April , 2010 Michel, It looks marvellous. Thanks for the pic. I think I may well visit after the ceremonies and the excitement. I think the access will be problematical when the big-wigs are in town. Plebs will not be encouraged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River97 Posted 9 April , 2010 Share Posted 9 April , 2010 I'll agree, it does look fantastic, and with the first headstones in place as well. Cheers Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegeGunner Posted 9 April , 2010 Share Posted 9 April , 2010 Great pic, Michel. Do those headstones have names on them? Looking forward to seeing you again on 9 May. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew lucas Posted 10 April , 2010 Share Posted 10 April , 2010 same experience, taking one pic over the fence, security got very excited, and stayed there till we had gone, won't be able to get the time off from work in july so best i could do matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Bennett Posted 10 April , 2010 Share Posted 10 April , 2010 Plebs will not be encouraged! This pleb is hoping to go on the 21st when hopefully the bigwigs have left town..................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roel22 Posted 11 April , 2010 Share Posted 11 April , 2010 If you don't like brass & big crowds stay away july 19th. Still it should become quite an event. I talked to a lady from the Australian army, thousands are expected from all over the world. A big stand is going to be built on the open space in post #83. Among the visitors also may descendants of the (identified) soldiers. Roel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel knockaert Posted 24 April , 2010 Share Posted 24 April , 2010 Great pic, Michel. Do those headstones have names on them? Looking forward to seeing you again on 9 May. Mick Hello Mick was not able to see the good side of the headstones... I do not know if the names are already engraved... I am not yet sure to be there on 9 may, but it will be a great pleasure to see you Cheers !!! Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
