I'll be visiting this small cemetery early in August. If you want any photos please send a PM with details by Sunday 5th August. Please include an email address for reply with a large JPG.

Offer made as this is slightly off the beaten track.

Yes Keith, given its location around Abbeville and Le Treport, it doesn't tend to get many visitors. There are only 17 CWGC graves there (inc. 2 unknowns), and 10 of those are located together, in a small plot. Another 4 are together alongside a wall, with another just a few yards away. Just looking on Find A Grave, 5 of the 15 named have a decent photo, but 10 either have a poor photo or none at all. Is it an option to take photos of all the 15 (17) headstones?

I am visiting a particular grave, that of  a man "found drowned" serving in an ASC supply Company, but I had already decided that I would photograph all 17. Copies available as above in response to a PM.

There are a similar number of WW1 war graves in nearby Le Crotoy as well. Also worth a visit.
