Geocache Description:

This is the second of a series of very simple offset Caches where clues are obtained from the information recorded on War Memorials

The above coordinates are for the war memorial located within Broadstone recreation ground, Dorset. There is ample free parking on the Ridgeway a short walk from the memorial.

This series was inspired by the approaching anniversary of the death of a dear friend and colleague, Ian Hall, who died serving his country on 25th May 1982

I hope that this series will be taken up by other cachers and that people are encouraged to visit war memorials and to spend a few moments in quiet contemplation and gratitude to all of those of every nation who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

The caches in this series have been placed with the knowledge and approval of the conservation Officer from the War Memorials Trust who ask that any damage to memorials be reported to them via the web site above.

None of these caches are placed on memorials or their associated landscaping.

The cache on this occassion is a small camoflaged clip n lock box with room for small swaps and coins only. Please bring a pen.

To find the cache locate the following information on the memorial

A = How many surnames start with the letter A?
B = How many people named Smith on the top plinth?
C = How many surnames begin with the letter F on bottom Plinth?
D = Number of people named Angell?
E = Number of People named Bascombe?

Cache is located at :-
N50 45. ABC
W 001 59.DBE

I would be delighted if others wish to extend this series across the country. I ask only that if you intend to do so within Dorset you let me know so I can keep a record.

This cache is on fairly level ground, with some inclines. Wheel Chairs and Pushchairs can get to within a few metres of the cache but help may be needed for the grab as the cache is located a few metres off the main path
