  1. HI Gérard, je ne parle pas du francais, but my 3 children all speak it well enough translate for me.

  2. from Abchan: Thanks to our geocaching friends in France & Belgium! I will be looking over the sites you sent to me and will match up coordinates to the cemeteries as I find them online. I will let you know again soon if I have trouble finding any. You are awesome! abchan in LangleyBC Canada
  3. This is my first posting so I hope I'm doing this the right way. Our family is planning to come to Belgium in July to lay flowers on approx. 70 WW1 soldiers who came from our local area of Canada almost 90 years ago. Only problem is I only have 3 days and there are 25-30 cemeteries to visit, & by the looks of it, there are a lot of war cemeteries in Belgium (for good reason), and some of the smaller ones are not that easy to find. I also want to make it fun for my kids by using my gps to have them help me find them. I set up a website to detail some of my information: http://abbotsfordremembrance.notlong.com I'm looking to see if there are geocachers near Ieper and Arras who could find out the GPS location of a number of Commonwealth/Canadian Cemeteries in those areas, just enough to get me to the front entrance. Once I find the exact location of our soldiers, it will be added as a part of my virtual memorial to these soldiers. The GPS location will help others find our boys when they come to pay their respects, I guess you would call it a memorial geocache. I hope there are some willing Belgians or ex-pats or other geocachers who could help me out. you can email me at abchan@telus.net if you can help me.java script:emoticon('',%20'smid_3')
