This cache has been archived.

Zouga: Regrettably I have to inform that this cache is gone. The Commonwealth War Graves commission has renovated the area and replaced all the broken bricks of the wall.
I have taken the decision NOT to replace the cache in its current form.
To everybody that enjoyed the cache, It was a pleasure.
To the cachers who found this cache frustrating – this is what caching is about I suppose
GreenJaM, sorry you had to go through all the trouble.
