imaginatian Posted 11 July , 2019 Share Posted 11 July , 2019 From a cold February day in 2012. Interesting cemetery, including French, German and British graves from both wars. If you ever visit then use the second exit from Versailles Chantiers Metro/RER station and the entrance to the cemetery is just a short walk away. On the main path to the British plot is the grave of the cross-channel pilot Louis Bleriot, and various family members. There's a good selection of photos for this cemetery on Google Maps.

travers61 Posted 12 July , 2019 Share Posted 12 July , 2019 When I was researching a man from Thornton Heath, London, for a war memorial project, I found photos of them in uniform & index/memorial cards with cause of death in Croydon archives. For interest they are shown, and i found Croydon archives very helpful. http://www.museumofcroydon.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
