Admin Michelle Young Posted 6 November , 2023 Admin Share Posted 6 November , 2023 No, the caribou is correct, but you can also see it from my mystery cemetery ( as you can from Beaulencourt, I was there yesterday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fattyowls Posted 6 November , 2023 Author Share Posted 6 November , 2023 That looks like the Gueudecourt Caribou, but what do I know? If it is it might be the Guards Cemetery at Lesboeufs. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fattyowls Posted 7 November , 2023 Author Share Posted 7 November , 2023 By contrast my eyesight gets better with age unless I'm looking at the page number of the post when I can't see a thing. I've just got completely lost in WiT? too. I may have to retire hurt..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mebu Posted 9 November , 2023 Share Posted 9 November , 2023 (edited) Here's another one for the frequent cemetery visitors. This ADS is directly over the road from the cemetery for the lads which were beyond help from the ADS and did not make it. In 2 halves, one half of pre-cast blocks and beams, Arques style, and one half concrete; over the entrance (in the still existing barn, not visible from the outside) is the date of construction, August 22 1918. Not a quiet area, for example on 23rd August a nearby MGC unit recorded "very considerable shelling" by the Germans. The cemetery contains dates both prior to and after August, and also a number from the 1940 withdrawal to Dunkirk. Anyone know it?

mebu Posted 11 November , 2023 Share Posted 11 November , 2023 No-one has replied so I assume nobody knows the cemetery. Nieppe-Bois (Rue du Bois), near Vieux Berquin. I don't think it's visited that often. By the road which runs through the wood, which just behind the front line after the 1918 German advance. Quite a lot to see in the wood, much trenched and shelled, worth a walk if ever you are in that area. Two other cemeteries close by which were used at this time are Tannay and Haverskerque.

Knotty Posted 11 November , 2023 Share Posted 11 November , 2023 Blimey Peter, it’s only been up since Thursday, still trying to work out the @dickaren cemetery😁 Still, it probably would have had me stumped (can’t speak for the others), duly noted as another area of interest if I ever get back across the Channel John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Darn, I was going to suggest that as it looked familiar. I’ve visited Nieppe-Bois twice this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
