WIMEREUX COMMUNAL CEMETERY

Hello all, perhaps a silly inqury but i was wondering if anyone had any insight to the Wimereux Communal Cemetery. I was wondering why the headstones are laid down flat instead of upright like all the other CWGC cemeteries? Is there any specific reason for this?

the majotiry of the gravestones are also flat at Boulogne Eastern as well. As it says in the CWGC information, it's because of the sandy nature of the soil

Nice pic... I was there two years ago around this period and we had grey skies and a lot of rain...
