CAMON COMMUNAL CEMETERY Somme, France

Camon is a village in the Department of Somme immediately east of Amiens across the river. From Amiens train station turn left onto the Rue Jules Barni, which runs in the south-easterly in the direction of Longeau. After approximately 1.5 kilometres you will see on your right the Saint Acheul Church. Turn left at this point onto the Rue Saint Acheul. Continue onto the Rue L'Agrappin and then turn right onto Rue Voyelle. Continue onto Rue Marius Petit which then becomes Rue Roger Salengro. The cemetery lies on the right hand side of this road. The Commonwealth war graves are on the north-east side of the cemetery.
