I'm just back from the south of Belgium, these are a few photos from one of the mixed cemeteries there.

Beautiful, Steve, thank you. It's nice to see photos of a relatively unknown and unvisited area of the front.
There's a beautiful cemetery at Anloy. I remember the German name as Anloy-Heide. That's one of my favorites. Unbeatable for peace and quiet.

Thanks Christina,
I'll try and visit Anloy when I'm next in Belgium.

Thank you for sharing your photographs.
I guess this is the closest I will ever get to visit the cemeteries.

Tony,
I always find it particular moving to visit these cemeteries (that in most cases had been initiated by the German "occupiers") where the old adversaries are buried together.
Although most of the deaths commemorated occurred in August 1914, I always think the autumnal colours show the cemeteries at their poignant best.
