Remembered Today:

Unknown cemetery: anyone recognise it?

First of all, I apologise for the disarray of some of the film crew accompanying my late husband in the attached image...   They have clearly been working hard laying rails for tracking shots in some sweltering weather, and are enjoying a well-earned beer.
Having just come across the picture among some family snapshots, we wondered if anyone might recognise the cemetery?   I am guessing the photo may have been taken in France or Belgium, probably during the filming of a 1985 series called "Soldiers: A History of men in battle".  

Many thanks in advance.

It’s Tyne Cot Cemetery.

It's quite faint, but If you look above the arch you can see the engraving of the partial cemetery name - 'E COT CEMETERY'

Here's it after photoshop in B/W with the Highlights burned back into detail to make it a little clearer so no doubt it's Tyne Cot Cemetery in Belgium.
