Comments :
Also a special place : you have to follow a small path between the fields.
The cemetery is surrounded by trees, very nice. And I wouldn’t be surprised that the entrance of the cemetery exists of old trenches, now full of water and beautiful flora.
This VC holder wasn’t buried here initially, but moved from another graveyard (check headstone pic).
