    Peaceful and well kept

    Was tracing a Malay Pilot who was shot down by the name of Henry Tallala, the cemetery was so peaceful and perfect, not one blade of grass out of place. Many thanks to the CWGC

    The cemetery lies 7km south west of Caen, 3km west of Troarn. Take the RN175 road out of Caen. Good Luck
