SOUILLY CHURCHYARD Meuse, France
Souilly is a village and commune on the main road from Bar-le-Duc to Verdun (La Voie Sacree). It is 18.75 miles (30 kilometres) north-north-east of Bar-le-Duc and 10 miles (16 kilometres) south-west of Verdun. There is a bus service along this main road, and both Bar-le-Duc and Verdun are on main railway lines. In the cemetery, near the east wall of the church, are the graves of five airmen of the Royal Air Force and one of the Royal Canadian Air Force-six graves in all.
