Verdun Trip

[Guest Simon Bull]

I am off to Verdun later this month. I am not exactly sure where we will be going as I am on a Flanders Tours organised tour, but if anyone wants photographs of any of the places commonly visited in Verdun let me know and I will do my best to assist.

Simon,

any selftaken photos about memorials/graves of recipients of the British Victoria Cross for my own website www.victoria-cross.com would be very grateful. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks and regards,

Fine Hans - can I ask whether you know of any such graves/memorials in the Verdun area, so that I know to look out for them?

[Paul Reed]

To my knowledge there are only a handful of British graves in the Verdun, and none of them are VC graves.

Enjoy your trip Simon!

Paul's right, no British VC graves at Verdun or in the surrounding area. There is a Lancaster bomber crew in the Faubourg Pave cemetery and a couple of prisoners of war in an outlying cemetery but that's all I can think of.

The nearest to Verdun that I can think of is Lt. Buckby RFC/ Independent Air Force who is buried in a cemetery at Maizières les Metz.

Just bumping this up before I go in case anyone else has any requests.

Sorry Hans - I saw very few British/Commonwealth graves and none of them VC winners.

Regards

No problem Simon, and thank you very much.
