Thanks P. Yes, a lovely spot. Alot of Information from the headstones & memorial plaques there.

My mate took us here for a picnic the other week:-
It’ll only let me post three pictures for some reason.

It’s the German war cemetery near Cannock.

Stopped & spent a bit of time here today & this headstone caught my eye a wee bit of research
