mebu Posted 21 May , 2023 Share Posted 21 May , 2023 Bob, have just spent ages going through boxes of old photos to remind me where this is. My indexing not very good. No luck. I know it is on the way to Cambrai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. I hope your staff officer colleagues don't read this forum, and aren't you on the staff now? And as for the clue in three days you can cover several hundred km so it doesn't narrow it down much. All we can glean from that is that it's somewhere near the Yser, or have you been on a different three day trek? Pete. P.S. A waffle outlet has opened up within walking distance of Owls Towers but it is shut on a Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mebu Posted 22 May , 2023 Share Posted 22 May , 2023 Bob I have had another look through and cannot find the old pic. Bit frustrating. Looks like nobody knows. So, come on then.... Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fattyowls Posted 22 May , 2023 Author Share Posted 22 May , 2023 This Pete hasn't a clue either re incomplete chateau walls. I have been looking for wisteria festooned cemetery entrances and wondered if the CWGC site might have a helpful warning for hay fever sufferers but to no avail. It looks like a large cemetery and something about the proximity of the woods in the distance reminds me of Guillemont Road but while I do remember some conical conifers I don't remember wisteria. Back to the drawing board. 1 hour ago, mebu said: had another look through Have you found lots of interesting photographs and fascinating digressions while not finding the one that you want? That tends to happen to me. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
