Geocache Description:

Based on the original cache by Antarticman - this was one of the first caches I found back in 2005 and is to this day one of my all time favourites. When he archived the original recently I decided to remember it and the location.


The entrance at the northern carpark

A tranquil and beautiful place that's well worth a visit - especially if you're from the States, or have military connections. I pass it frequently and have only visited it a few times. There's not another like it in the UK - and there can be few places that are so immaculately well kept - it's an impressive monument!
Spend a little time looking around the visitor centre (which can be useful when searching for an exact grave location) and the memorial building at the eastern end of the reflecting pools. There are some interesting carvings around the building and bronzes adorn the entrance doors depicting WW2 equipment. Inside is a beautiful mosaic - well worth a look.

Along side the reflecting pools are the tablets of the missing - service men and women who have no known graves. Notable amonst these is the famous band leader Glen Miller.


One of the interesting services that they perform at the cemetery is if a releative is visiting and wants to be able to get a decent picture of the grave, the inscriptions in the marble are difficult to photgraph, sand from Omaha beach is rubbed into the engraving to make if stand out.



The reflecting pool looking East

The coords are for the Main car-park - NB: The opening hours are from 0900-1700 (9am -5pm) daily.

The Cache

Once inside, take a short walk easterly beside the reflecting pool and find Hyman Nathans place (he's a star even if he is in the back row) - he's also a long way from New York.... You'll need the two digit day AB, The month as a number - C and the four digit year - DEFG - to decode the coords of the actual cache which is not far away - 'hidden' in plain view.... (The name of the cache also has more than one meaning!)

Final Coodrdinates: N52 (B+C).E(A-D)(D+G) E000 0(C-D).DF(F-G)

No 'bushwacking' required and you should have no trouble with satellite coverage - the cache is a small camouflaged container, containing a logsheet and pencil, and with little room for anything else.
