Remembering my great uncle, Gunner Robert Holdsworth, 338758, 321st Siege Battery, R.G.A., Killed during an enemy air raid 3rd September, 1918. Age 20. Son of Robert and Annie Holdsworth, of Hessle Road, Hull. He was my grandmother’s brother and she was only six when her only brother was killed.

In memory of my grandfather Richard Davenport who died in 1918. He enlisted 1914 and my dad was born 1915 so never knew his father. It has been an up hill battle to find details of my grandfather because he enlisted in The East Lancs but died in the King's Liverpool Reg. He also ended up with two reg numbers. We have now found his details and know he is buried in The Post Office Riffles Cemetery. Thanks to everyone who helps keep sites like these going.

In memory of my Grand Father William Fraser, Sergeant Duke of Wellington's (West Riding Regiment) 1st/5th Bn. Died 08/09/16 aged 36. I am the daughter of his daughter Winifred that he didn't live to see, she was born Feb 1917. I visited his grave in Morchies some years ago and never took a photograph and have regretted it since. Thanks to your site I have now been able to obtain one. I am the only member of his family so far that has been able to visit his grave, some 80 years later. We have to remember that travel just after the war was not only virtually impossible but also very expensive. It must have been very difficult for family's to mourn without their loved ones being returned home. Being able to write this has made it so much easier and to feel so much closer. May they all rest in peace.

Do you have phot's of individual graves at BAILLEUL COMMUNAL CEMETRERY EXT (NORD). My Uncle is buried there. Plot 1 Row M.2 His name is Arthur Desmond Tattersall Private 883

My dad grew up knowing very little about his father and thankfully I was able to track down some information for him in the last few years of his life when I became interested in family history.

God bless his soul.

yesterday whilst going through some slides from my late grandad, and late dads, i found a slide of Dickibush Cemetary at Ypres, where my late gran's father was tragically killed during WW1, she never got to meet him or knew him.
I guess at sometime in the 60's or 70's my gran and grandad must have visited the cemetary in search of his grave...
I have been privaleged to have visted Belgium on many occasions, and been to both Ypres and Mons... until yesterday i was truely unaware of my great grandfather resting place, and only through researching on line this cemetary have i found his service number 57938 Gunner W.H.Merefield died 1st August 1917 Royal Artillery.
I am now determined to find out more about him, his life, a photo, what happened to his medals... thanks to the creator of this site
regards, mark.
