Looking at next year now😁 Likewise, used to go 3-4 times a year during the nineties. Often dawn until dusk. I have not been since 2019 and probably will not go again until I have had my hip replacement done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are correct Richard, and I'd have a small wager that you are, I'm wondering if Madame Young's viewpoint might be Lone Tree? If I'm reading the map correctly there should be a third cemetery, Bois Carré just out of frame. Unless I am, very much mistaken as Murray Walker would say. Pete.

I'll be amused if I am barking up the wrong Lone Tree. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Forge Posted 29 August , 2023 Share Posted 29 August , 2023 I need to sort my work/life balance - I spent quite a bit of time last week hunting for answers when I should have been working and no time at all on it over the Bank Holiday weekend. Back to work this morning, if work consists of studying Google maps. I'd say that's Bertrancourt. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 29 August , 2023 Admin Share Posted 29 August , 2023 My visits in the 1990s weren’t as frequent, had two small children and not a lot of money! Sons both grown up and left home (finally!) and early retirement means we can get over a lot more. How about this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
