Default ALLEMONT (LE RIVIER) COMMUNAL CEMETERY

Hello all,
My first post on here and it is for some help please.

I'm compiling a database of WWI/II Cemeteries to be distributed freely for use on satellite navigation units such as TomTom, Garmin etc. I've posted several updates so far on The Great War Forum and I will post on here too if I am allowed. (only been on here ten minutes!)

I'm trying to find the location on Google Earth of the above cemetery. Details can be found on the CWGC site http://www.cwgc.org/search/cemetery_......5597&mode=1
It's somewhere in the French Alps. An interesting little cemetery in that it contains the passengers and presumably crew of a plane which crashed carrying the highest ranking serviceman to be killed in WW2, Air Chief Marshall Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory. The saddest bit is that his wife Lady Leigh-Mallory was with him.
Somewhere in the region of 45.20317 6.04031 but I can't spot it on [ Geoportail ] or Google Earth. Can anyone help? It's supposed to be on the mountainside east of Le Rivier.

cheers

Bruce

An great and important piece of work Bruce!

I've attached the file to this thread so that others with these devices might use them also. I'll keep the file updated with the most recent version as soon as I receive them.

According to Bruce's email:

The csv file is for Garmin sat navs. I'm not familiar with them but I've had no complaints!

This file is also posted on the Great War Forum and yourNAV.com | The road to your Personal Navigation Device

French 801 Cems
Dutch 71 Cems
Belgian 226 Cems
I'll put the file in a better location once I get the ww2n.com database up.
