Fattyowls Posted 20 February , 2021 Author Share Posted 20 February , 2021 Is that a railway embankment in the background? I can see what looks like a water tower through the trees too, but raliway embankment and French water tower hardly narrows it down much given how far and wide you and the chap in the photo have ranged on the bike. I tried counting the headstones and looking though the CWGC site by number of graves but didn't find a match. At least I'm getting the hang of the new site and finding a lot of interesting things about small cemeteries, you never know when they might come in useful...... Pete.

Admin Michelle Young Posted 20 February , 2021 Admin Share Posted 20 February , 2021 We were in the car that trip Pete, but the weather was certainly good enough for a bike trip. The cemetery dates from October 1918, the first burial is significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Michelle, a much needed clue as I am otherwise clueless. Should narrow my search down a bit. Pete. P.S. Like the jacket in your new avatar - very bright.
