Thank you so much. I have forwarded it to the rest of my family.
The cemetery itself looks the same as the day when I visited it 43 years ago.
Technology certainly is making the world much smaller.
You are most welcome. It is indeed a great site. Between that, the photos at http://www.ww1cemeteries.com/, and all the information now available (cemetery plans included) at http://www.cwgc.org/, along with occasional recourse to Google maps, finding and visiting WWI gravesites - in person or just virtually - is now relatively easy.

Lat summer I had a brief conversation with a woman I met on the plan to France; I forget how the subject came up, but she mentioned that she had an uncle who died in WWII but who was buried in a WWI cemetery, which she said was now beside but inaccessible from a major highway and seldom visited by anyone. Just out of curiosity I figured out where he was. A full month later my partner joined me in Lille, but then, since I was still working, he took a couple of days to trace out the path taken by the Canadian corps between Arras and Cambrai in the last 100 days of the war. That cemetery was on his itinerary, so I gave him the info and he planted a small Canadian flag by that stone. I just wish I could contact that woman and let her know, but living beings can be harder to find...
