Talk about Pavlov's dog - my husband automatically stops now when we reach a churchyard or cemetery!!!
Hi CTNana,

Yes that is the one:
CWGC :: Cemetery Photos

Unsure whether there is a headstone as well as the memorial. Hope you have some good travels.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
