Signs on the door look like UK style of signage (versus continental), so another vote for Brookwood (although I've walked around there a few times and don't remember that building... maybe an odd angle).

I think this is correct. Vague memory of visiting there.

bingo

its the Canadian record building just pat the entrance. For those who haven't had the chance to go to France/Belgium CWGC sites, highly recommend going here to get a sense of things, the US section is very interesting in particular, and the US official there very interesting and informative and helpful.

Bear in mind though that its still an active burial site with recent graves in the UK plots - i spoke to a guy who was visiting his sons grave who had died in Afghanistan.

Don't know it specifically, but flint wall typically of South Downs area - similar to many of the walls at the Goodwood estate.

Honeymoon (and marriage, come to think of it) in 1994 - if it wasn't that one, then it was very, very similar to the one we visited on a tour smile

Sorry so quick (oft said on honeymoon, too, IIRC laugh )

Carry on, someone, please.
