OLIZY COMMUNAL CEMETERY

Ardennes

France

GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 49.34271, Longitude: 4.77435

Location Information

Olizy is a village and commune 30 miles (48 kilometres) south of Mezières and 5 miles (8 kilometres) south-east of Vouziers. Communications are very poor, and the village is most easily reached by taxi from Rethel, a town some 22 miles (36 kilometres) north-west of Olizy on the railway line from Paris to Reims and Mezières-Charleville. The communal cemetery is 100 yards south of the church, and the grave of a Canadian airman is near the rear hedge.
