The title says it all. I've tried a search on the CWGC site under "Paris" and all I can get is loads of parishes.
Any ideas?

Well, I'm taking the better half to Paris for her birthday in May and if I can slip away while she is in Galeries Lafayette it's my plan to get to at least 1 of them.

Chris,
If by any chance you visit any of these and have the time, I'd be most grateful if you could photograph their headstones, please?

If the wife allows you the time I have one, too.

Levallois-Perret Communal Cemetery, Paris; Plot 34 Row 1 Grave 1B (Mabel Olive Craggs, BRCS).

I am the present custodian of her victory medal. Records at the CWGC show that the cemetery was used by the Hertford British Hospital.


This cemetery is north-west of the city in the suburb of Levallois-Perret. Take the Periferique to the Porte d'Asnieres and then on to Rue Victor Hugo. Turn left in front of the railway bridge onto Rue Baudin. The Cemetery entrance will be found on the right.

Jim & Bob
If I get there I will take them. The most likely locations are those within easy RER / Metro ride.
