Admin Michelle Young Posted 21 March , 2011 Admin Share Posted 21 March , 2011 It was the bit about it raining that clinched it the last couple of times I have been there it has been pouring down and cold......... I am in a cemetery, in august company. There is another cemetery on the outskirts of the village.Near the cemetery is a railway line and behind that a wood which is now a military encampment. There is a significant (as in Great War) expanse of water not too far from where I am. Where am I and who might I be stood by. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Morgan Posted 21 March , 2011 Share Posted 21 March , 2011 OK, I am looking at (another) pillar in a sad place David Blimey - could be anywhere. Doesn't the original poster (when explaining how the game works) say you have to give three clues?? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil@basildon Posted 21 March , 2011 Author Share Posted 21 March , 2011 Yes indeed three clues is the normal fare but you can give fewer or more but given the breadth of the subject three clues is a reasonable minimum. By careful wording you could plant a red herring or by using cryptic clues you could 'spice up' the game. After all it is a bit of fun but hopefully it will help to improve ones knowledge of the Great War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfaulder Posted 21 March , 2011 Share Posted 21 March , 2011 OK, I am looking at (another) pillar in a sad place David Well despite the pops being taken at me for lack of information (sorry), I have had a PM (timed 6:40pm) which is pretty close!

AlanCurragh Posted 22 March , 2011 Share Posted 22 March , 2011 You could be in the ground of Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin, maybe? Or the Mur des Fusilles in Arras? BTW I'm moving this to Chit Chat - no reason for it to be in Skindles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfaulder Posted 22 March , 2011 Share Posted 22 March , 2011 Cell & courtyard at Poperinghe? Correct - that is the actual place I had in mind (although Alan's subsequent suggestions might have met the initial clues), I was beginning to wonder whether I was condemned to have to think of another hint!

Admin Michelle Young Posted 23 March , 2011 Admin Share Posted 23 March , 2011 I am stood by a memorial on a bend on a quiet road, but busier in the last couple of years. To get here I passed 2 cemeteries, both unusual and picturesque, and a memorial. I can also see another cemetery on a slight rise in the distance. Where am I and whose memorial am I visiting?
