Chris_Baker Posted 30 March , 2010 Share Posted 30 March , 2010 Let's start with one of moderate difficulty. Having said that I have now doomed this thread to end on Post #2. Guess the cemetery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Baker Posted 30 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 30 March , 2010 From the widely spaced graves and the proximity of a road, I can understand that guess. But no. How about that large cemetery across the road? There's only a farm and noisy geese at Le Touret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River97 Posted 30 March , 2010 Share Posted 30 March , 2010 Ah, so Chris is it two cemeteries then? Because if it is I've still got nothing! Cheers Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen D Posted 30 March , 2010 Share Posted 30 March , 2010 Only place I can think of with cemeteries across the road like that is VOORMEZEELE. I know I'm wrong but..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 30 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 30 March , 2010 You are wrong. Three more incorrect guesses and I will offer a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevem49 Posted 30 March , 2010 Share Posted 30 March , 2010 Is it on the Salient (well behind the lines)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 30 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 30 March , 2010 It is in the salient, but never more than three or four miles from the firing line and sometimes a lot closer than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul21455 Posted 30 March , 2010 Share Posted 30 March , 2010 What about Brandhoek and Brandhoek New to the background. That said, I'm struggling with the configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Banning Posted 30 March , 2010 Share Posted 30 March , 2010 How about La Brique Nos 1 & 2? I really should be working rather than looking at this..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 30 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 30 March , 2010 Give that man a cigar! I am standing in La Brique Military Cemetery No 1, looking across the road to La Brique Military Cemetery No 2. Shall I post another? Give me a few minutes.

Chris_Baker Posted 30 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 30 March , 2010 Ok, here we go. This should be pretty easy unless you only ever go to the Somme or Ypres. My car got stuck in the muddy lane running outside this cemetery once. No one was about to help, and I only got going by the good luck of finding a large rag in the field, which I put under a wheel to give me some traction.

Chris_Baker Posted 30 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 30 March , 2010 Where are all the houses? Right next to both cemeteries and strategically positioned off camera! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Banning Posted 30 March , 2010 Share Posted 30 March , 2010 One of my favourites - Fifteen Ravine British Cemetery, Villers-Plouich I recall that the Cross of Sacrifice was destroyed by a lighning strike some years ago. Pic taken on a sunny day. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 30 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 30 March , 2010 Give that man two cigars. This is getting expensive. OK, a much harder one. Same place, different view. Think 1918. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Baker Posted 30 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 30 March , 2010 Well done, Michael. Quite right. It is St Aubert British Cemetery. Details at http://www.cwgc.org/search/cemetery_detail...9500&mode=1. I shall dig out another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 30 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 30 March , 2010 Another fairly easy one. You'll notice I have stopped handing out cigars. You are too good at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
