This is a plan of the cemetery with all the blocks numbered (Roman Numerals), then the rows are also numbered and then each grave has its number. So if there is a need to find a head stone, a book at the entrance has all the details needed.

Training - British soldiers on the beach.
British soldiers being beasted by the Canaries. Canaries were the controlling staff who wore yellow armbands, thus canaries. Beasted is the word these poor soldiers trained on Salisbury Plain or the slopes of the Yorkshire Dales, then shipped to France and put through a grueling training routeen on the sand or 'The Bullring'.. And then shipped off again via the French railway system to the front.
