Entry pilasters installed at Loos British Cemetery Extension

The entry pilasters of the new Loos British Cemetery Extension have been installed.

The stones bear the name of the upcoming cemetery. Now installed in their proper place, they will form part of the cemetery’s new entryway, guiding visitors towards the rows of headstones once installed.

Each stone weighing 400kg had to be carefully craned into place. After three hours of careful alignment and installation, the palisters spell out:

LOOS – BRITISH – CEMETERY – EXTENSION

With the entry taking shape, construction work at Loos British Cemetery Extension is underway.
