Coxyde Military Cemetery

[temptage]

Does anybody have plans to visit Coxyde, or already have photos from there? I have two men whose headstones I would like a high resolution photograph of.

 

I.I.19 - Bailey, FE - Manchester Regiment

I.I.26 - Storr, A - Northumberland Fusiliers

I went there to take headstone photos of Australian tunnelers   for a gwf member,not knowing, I parked outside, one the red lane,when I came out my car had been towed away, I walked up to the nearby police station where the chap said sorry,he said as my car was a long way away he would get me a taxi.Shortly after up comes a police car the man said"here is your taxi",when I posted warning gwf not to park out side one said he parks up the road at the nearby Aldi car park .

To add insult to injuring the GWF member never even said thank you

The only time I visited back in 2012 there just happened to be a cycle race going on so the only place I could park was in the Aldi car park, so as it was around dinnertime I decided to partake in the sandwiches and drink while the peloton passed by. Nothing ventured lol
