Abandoned and Creepy South Carolina School!
Smiling Faces, Haunted Places!
Abandoned Fletcher Memorial school in Marlboro County,
South Carolina. Fletcher Memorial School-Erected in 1920 by WB&JA Fletcher for Robert T. Fletcher, the son of WB and Sanai Fletcher, who was killed in World War I on October 1st, 1918. He died in France and his body was later exhumed and brought to the Fletcher Cemetery. It took 2 years to build the school, the bricks were imported from Europe. The granite was carried from the town of McColl by horse and wagon-origin of the granite unknown. The school was closed in 1985. The price of the construction was $216,5000 and it sold at auction in 1989 for $15,000. It appears that someone tried to restore it and gave up from either running out of money or the ghosts that roam the hallways. This place is spooky! ©Scott Krause Aerials/Photography
Celebrity Eclipse Cruise Day 3 Le Havre/Normandy Beaches 1/09/18
Today we docked in the French port of Le Havre and embarked on a major trip to visit the Normandy Beaches and the World War 2 Invasion sites. After a hiccup at the port our group of 8 got going and had an amazing time.
First stop was at Omaha Beach, followed by the Omaha Museum. Next we went to the American Cemetery which we all found very moving and impressive. Next we had a short stop to see 4 German Bunkers before coming to Arromaches Beach where the British forces landed. Other stops after this included Bayeux to see the famous Tapestry and the Cathedral, and also the beautiful village of Honfleur.
This was a very busy day but we got to see so much thanks to our stand in driver! Enjoy.

Sucrerie British Cemetery, Graincourt Les Haverincourt, France
I found this unusual cemetery by following the signs, then walking along a beautifully maintained path to the middle of a field. Here's what CWGC say about it
Graincourt-le-Havrincourt is a village just south of the main Cambrai to Bapaume road (N30), about 10 kilometres from Cambrai.
Sucrerie British Cemetery is on a minor road that leads directly from Graincourt-les-Havrincourt, crosses the main road and then leads towards Moeuvres. The Cemetery is at the end of a long access path which starts about 0.5 kilometres from the main road.
Historical Information
Graincourt-les-Havrincourt was captured by the 62nd (West Riding) Division on the 20th November 1917, and again, after a hard struggle, by the 63rd (Royal Naval) Division on the 27th September 1918.
The cemetery was made by the 63rd Division on the 6th October 1918.
There are now nearly 60, 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site. Of these, a small number are unidentified and one grave, which cannot now be found, is represented by a special memorial. The graves are in one long trench, almost all of whom belonged to the 63rd Division and fell in the capture of Graincourt.
The cemetery covers an area of 202 square metres, without the approach road and is enclosed by a low rubble wall.
