Stereoview Paul Posted 1 April , 2023 Share Posted 1 April , 2023 I did put this one up a long while ago - but I think it is appropriate to add it here. I believe a pre-concentration site again labelled 'Redan Cemetery 'with casualties from the disaster in the Dunes at Nieuport. (two views) The second view is one of the 'missing' cards that I do not have a copy of so this is the best I have looks OK shrunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripeyman Posted 1 April , 2023 Share Posted 1 April , 2023 This is one of my very first photos of the old Western Front. BTW not taken with a good camera. The date on the back is 25 July 1969 the location is also written on it. So where does anyone think it was taken ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 1 April , 2023 Admin Share Posted 1 April , 2023 Either Lochnagar or Y sap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeyman Posted 1 April , 2023 Share Posted 1 April , 2023 I didn't think that would have taken long..... Yes, Y sap it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they have moved those as well? I would think that’s more an established cemetery behind the lines. Looks like pollarded willow trees in the background. Or is it a communal cemetery with original civilian markers? HI Michelle, I have just spotted an alternative caption for this image which mentions British and Canadian graves in this cemetery - may help with a location.

Quite overgrown now but original shell damage is/was still to be seen. What a coincidence. I have just started a thread elsewhere trying to find out where the front line trenches were in front of St.Jean. The Coldstream were there in March and their dug-outs were in the canal bank. I don't know which canal it was, but the date on your picture (3/March) was the date my great grandfather was killed there in 1916. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
