Fattyowls Posted 4 September , 2021 Author Share Posted 4 September , 2021 Very quick off the mark Michelle; it is a very moving photograph that Michel has posted (Merci Michel). I'm just between computers at the moment and all my battlefield ones are on the old laptop, I must transfer them across and look for some more obscure views. Pete.

Admin Michelle Young Posted 10 September , 2021 Admin Share Posted 10 September , 2021 The motorway isn’t at the back but practically next to the cemetery, I had to check Google Earth as it’s been a few years since I was there. I was surprised to see a new industrial park built very close. You used to be able to drive up the track by it and get onto a prominent hill with far reaching views and history.
