Researching the Past

Came looking for an ancestor killed during the war. Visiting here is a sobering experience. The graves are immaculately well kept. Even though this is a relatively small cemetery the waste of life is all too apparent, particularly reading the young ages on some of the headstones. Soldiers as young as 19 in some cases We were also fortunate enough to have a local tour guide who showed us around the battlefield sites in the area. (Thanks Richard)

    A Moment of Silence
    The cemetery is quite small but it's not less impressive. Well maintained as all other british cemeteries. There 's no special parking place but you can park it on the side of the road for a short time.

    In search of lost ancestors
    Beautifully kept grounds. Even at this scale the symmetry of pristine rows of bright white headstones is striking. With the ages and regiments of the soldiers who died included, this place really gives a sense of the impact the second world war had. We were lucky enough to have a personalised guided tour, but even without that the place is well worth a visit.
