CROONAERT Posted 29 July , 2011 Share Posted 29 July , 2011 Sorry... forgot about this thread (didn't think my last answer was going to be correct!) ...Open stage anyone???? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterhogg Posted 29 July , 2011 Share Posted 29 July , 2011 Okay, I will take a stab at this but I was pretty hopeless in my attempts to answer the earlier ones! But, by default here goes: I am standing in a CWGC cemetery in France but then again, upon reflection, I could be in a whole different continent altogether.

ShirlD Posted 30 July , 2011 Share Posted 30 July , 2011 Not a whole heap of clues there! I would love to have you describe the cemetery and what it means for you. Cheers Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Morgan Posted 30 July , 2011 Share Posted 30 July , 2011 Well within the British sphere of involvement here, but there's an unusual grave in the front row of the photo. What cemetery is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Morgan Posted 31 July , 2011 Share Posted 31 July , 2011 Sorry to have brought the fun to a dead stop like this! I suppose you either know it or you don't so rather than let it drag on with lots of clues (and as I'm going out for the day) I'll give the answer. It's Erquinghem-Lys Churchyard Extension. Over to anyone else who would like to continue. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMarsdin Posted 31 July , 2011 Share Posted 31 July , 2011 OK then, here's one: "A soldier of the Cambridgeshire regiment shares this church graveyard with one other WW1 CWGC casualty but rather more of the Clan McDonald, it could be in the South Riding but which village ?"

SteveMarsdin Posted 1 August , 2011 Share Posted 1 August , 2011 As my previous post might have been missed in the website's Sunday siesta, here's another clue: "Amongst the burials the graveyard is the resting place of the tallest ******** in England, at 25 feet" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMarsdin Posted 1 August , 2011 Share Posted 1 August , 2011 Rudston All Saints. Well done ! I visited the churchyard on Saturday. For anyone else who's interested: There are 2 CWGC graves in the churchyard. It is the burial place of the McDonalds of the Isles It is the burial place of Winifred Holtby, author "South Riding" England's tallest monolith, at 25 feet, stands in the churchyard.
