I spent time at this memorial while visiting my family and unfortunately it was closed for renovations. However, this didn’t cause an issue as there is the original memorial burial ground across the road. Following the removal of the remains of the soldiers this area was designed to reflect the contribution of each battalion and so you will find, as you walk around the site, small pillars with brass plates upon which poems are written.

Free parking close to the chapel up the hill.…
