If only I'd known you in the early 80's Toby; after I taught myself to touch type most of my disposable income went on the product. I am not sure that I made quite that many errors however and the inhalation issues explain much about my behaviour during that period. As to the not recently visited cemetery it looks to me like a battlefield cemetery with scattered graves with perhaps a bit of concentration on the outer rows. My first thought was that it was somewhere in Picardy due to the flints in the wall but beyond that I'm sorry I haven't a clue. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also unusual in that the cross and shelter are offset to the side of the graves. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
