Burial Information

Cemetery:

FESTIEUX COMMUNAL CEMETERY
Aisne, France

Grave Reference:

Coll. grave.

Location:

Festieux is a village and commune on the Laon-Reims road (N. 44) about 7 miles (11 kilometres) south-east of Laon. The most convenient station is Laon, which has good road and rail communications with Paris and the towns of northern France, and where taxis are available. There is a bus service from Laon and Reims, but it is poor. The communal cemetery is south of the village on a by-road leading from the village square. In the south-eastern corner of the cemetery are the graves of three airmen of the Royal Air Force.
