    These photos taken in 2015 and 2016. Staying at Veriville on both occasions.
    The 2015 meet turned into a minor optical get together the majority of the gathering being collectors.
    These folks come from all over Europe, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, the sum of their collective knowledge is considerable to say the least.

    "Talking" to a gent on FB puts this small place in mind, the Commonwealth cemetery of Jerusalem close to Tilly. A small neatly tucked away cemetery you could come on it and miss it, worth the trouble of stopping and spending a while . 678.JPG 679.JPG 680.JPG 681.JPG 682.JPG 683.JPG 685.JPG 686.JPG 688.JPG 689.JPG 692.JPG 699.JPG 696.JPG 694.JPG
