Courcelette British Cemetery in the Snow

I recently spent a week on the Somme Battlefields when it snowed heavily, and the landscape was transformed. Courcelette is a small village on the Somme, captured by the Canadian Corps during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette on 15th September 1916. More than 8,500 Canadians died at Courcelette, and Courcelette British Cemetery is one of three in village.

Courcelette British Cemetery, January 2019

While there in January 2019, I was able to walk up to Courcelette British Cemetery and photograph a cemetery I have photographed many times, in all sorts of weather, but this time in the snow.
