Knotty Posted 26 February , 2023 Share Posted 26 February , 2023 (edited) Confused…I will be😁😁 Steves is the monument which I’m sure had conifers in each corner the first time I saw it, since the turn of the century I think they have been replaced, maybe someone can confirm my suspicions or I’m going to have to dig out the old photos😬 Edited 26 February , 2023 by Knotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Thank you Richard,I thought I was imagining things,I believe they were quite tall before they were eventually felled. Now back to your picture ID😁 Edited 26 February , 2023 by Knotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Michelle Young Posted 1 March , 2023 Admin Share Posted 1 March , 2023 There is a memorial to the missing very close to the steps. There might be five ways to find an answer for the other one…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Michelle Young Posted 1 March , 2023 Admin Share Posted 1 March , 2023 Cinq Rues it is. Will be going past it later (if we ever get moving on the M25 that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knotty Posted 1 March , 2023 Share Posted 1 March , 2023 (edited) Hi Michelle Safe journey I hope? Are the steps at Louveral Military Cemetery, next to the Cambrai Memorial? Not confident on this😁 Edited 1 March , 2023 by Knotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 1 March , 2023 Admin Share Posted 1 March , 2023 No, a few miles away. Yes, we got to France in the end, a nice day, very chilly wind but dry and sunny. No guess where, photos show Le Grand Hasard, la Kreule and Ebblinghem cemeteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereoview Paul Posted 1 March , 2023 Share Posted 1 March , 2023 Anyone up for a challenge of a slightly different sort - I would love to have some modern colour stereoviews of the cemeteries and wondered if people wanted to have a go? All yo need to do is to stand as if you are about to take the photo, then transfer your weight to your left leg, take the photo then transfer your weight to the right foot and take a second photo, you should find the camera moving about 6 inches horizontally (for the purists it's bit too much but will still give great images). Much easier done than explained, just avoid any moving objects. I will then process the images and post the stereoviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 26 March , 2023 Admin Share Posted 26 March , 2023 At the request of @Knotty reposting this one. I previously said there’s a memorial to the missing very close by. The memorial commemorates 10 men. The cemetery has 790 known burials. It’s not on the Somme, or Salient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
