HI I HAVE JUST FOUND MY GREAT UNCLE ON HERE HIS NAME WAS H.J. BUTLER SERJEANT WITH THE ROYAL SUSSEX REGIMENT. THANKS TO THIS WEB PAGE .
THANK YOU.

I have been researching my great great uncle for some time now and have never been able to find any information on him. Recently I have been able to learn his regiment number. I googled his name and reg number and this site came up!
My grandmother never knew where her uncle was buried. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to show her where her Uncle Frank was laid to rest. We are so thrilled to know this piece of our family history!

I have been researching my grandfathers details for a year now Sgt John Blain Argyll and Sutherland at Il-De-Re communal cemetery and wondered if you had any photographs of the graves.

What a surprise to go into your site for my mother who was looking for where her uncle Augustus Milton East was buried to find a photo of him and his grave site right in front me, how wonderful for her.

Thanks for making our day

Regards
Joanne

Thank you for going to so much trouble. Thank you for being so respectful....and John Parkinson - my thoughts are with you often, rest in peace - you are not forgotten. Mxxx

this is an answer to Peter(Australia)'s message (15/06/2010-13:31) : Hello !
I have just seen your message.
You are looking for your cousin's grave . Yes, the small city of Camaret sur Mer is near Crozon, 60 km south -west from BREST. Here is a link to the city's official website :http://www.camaret-sur-mer.com/
As I don't live very far, I can go and find information soon (maybe by the end of next week). Please let me know if you are still interested(of course, I won't ask any money. It's just in memory of your cousin who helped us to be free ...)

Thank you for this great site.
I would be very greatful if you could get a picture of II. C. 5. David Milne Ford. He was my Great Great Grandfather and I intend to go sometime this year to pay my respects. I would be very greatful if this is possible. It would mean so much to me.

IN MEMORY OF ALBERT THOMAS HAYDEN ROYAL BERKSHIRE REGT DIED 1916. AND OF ARTHUR TWINING 3RD LONDON REGIMENT TF DIED 8.8.1918; RIP

I visited the cemetery in December 2009 to find the grave of my grandmother's brother, Gnr Walter Norris Jellicoe. I am the very first member of my family to have the opportunity to pay my respects. The weather was absolutely foul, and as an ex-serviceman myself, I certainly got a feel for how dreadful life must have been for all ranks during the Somme battles. After having done the two minutes silence, and saying the "We will remember them..." exhortation, I replaced my hat and returned to my car. Overcome by the immaculate condition of the cemetery, the gravestones standing shoulder to shoulder without deference to rank or age, and the story of how the ground had changed hands, I found myself sobbing uncontrollably. A rare display of emotion for me, but one I couldn't wait to confess to my family, even though it was for all the men who lie there, not just Gnr Jellicoe. My family were moved, and thanked me for being there. I shall endeavour to return.

in memory of our beloved grandfather, great grandfather, great,great, grandfather. pte sidney stanbury,31st batt. AIF. killed in action, bapaume, france, 15th march 1917, may his memory live for evermore.he left a wife, [died 1949 ] and four children, all of who have now passed on. my one wish in life is to see his resting place, before i too pass on, its a pity he did not live, to meet his grand children. because i would have loved to have got to know him[ my grandfather]

have found a medal with the inscription Charles Ashford Cartledge 2 nd Lieutenant 1914 to 1919 , do you have any info on this please

My message is to J Goldthorpe re his relative Wilford Goldthorpe. Wilford and my grandfather Ernie Charters of "Hilltop" Bingara were good friends and both enlisted for WW1 together at Narrabri on 18.1.1916, and became part of the 'Kurrajongs' of the 33rd Btn. I have recently returned from the Western Front in France, I paid a visit to Wilford Goldthorpe's grave at Aubigny British Cemetery, I was surprised to see your name Jordon Goldthorpe in the Visitors' Book, just a few weeks before my visit. Such a coincidence and such a long way from home. All the best with your research.

sorry for my bad english,and many thanks for my young children who like to surf on this website,my grandparents saved around 100 english people and were arrested and went in Mathausen and bergenbelsen and died a week before the end of the war!,our familly will always think to people who died for PEACE ,coming from everywhere,my two boys 7 and 9 didn't want to go to school last friday to watch TV,I am proud of them

I was very excited to find the resting place for George Crowford (Crawford), he was a private in the Gordon Highlanders 2nd battalion, and was killed in action, we always assumed that he didn't get a burial, with being the last person on the Crowford side I don't know a lot about them, my Grandpa Crowford, who was George's nephew, passed away when I was young and George never married, so to hear that he has a resting place makes me happy and hopeful to visit it one day. Thanks to everyone!!

Thank you for the work you have done on this website. My Great Uncle Patrick Kelly is buried in Pond Farm Cemetery. He served in the 6th Battalion/ Royal Irish Regt (47 Brigade 16th Irish Divn). Patrick was 21 when he died. The son of Thomas and Nora Kelly, he was one of eight children. His younger brother James also served in 1916 and he survived. Until a few months ago, none of my generation of the family knew about Patrick; how he died or where he was buried. We hope to visit the graveside soon: the first of his family financially able to do so.
We will remember you Patrick. God Bless.

I was so happy to find the resting place of William Chappin. the eldest of two brothers killed within a short time and leaving their parents childless. One can only imagine the heartbreak.
What a beautiful and peaceful place out of such devastation and recognition of the sacrafice so many lives.
I hope to be able to visit at some time.

Bonjour,
We are hoping to visit the grave site of my cousin Francis Eric McLean, Flight Lieutenant, Royal Australian Air Force, Service Number:413091 in September 2010. We believe he is buried in Camaret-Sur-Mur Communal Cemetery in Camaret-Sur-Mur.
We know that the cemetery is located on the eastern outskirts of the town on the road to Crozon. Do you know the exact address of the cemetery? We would appreciate any assistance you could give us. Many thanks and we look forward to hearing from you.
P & J, Australia

The picture against the name Pte Albert Lyall Bailey is that of my Great Uncle Sergeant William John Hutton. My brother and I put that picture on his grave when we visited in 2006. The picture against William Hutton's grave we think is actually that of his brother...it was put there by an unknown person. I am not writing to criticise your work...I think you do a wonderful job. I just wanted to correct the pictures.

I have a signed photo in an old album from my grandmother's house of a soldier posing in uniform. Written on the page is 'Eric Greenhough taken in Belgium 19/8/17'. I see he is buried at Sunken Road Cemetery. Don't know the exact connection but he would have been the right age to be a friend of my grans, or one of her sisters.

My great uncle is buried in VLAMERTINGHE NEW Military Cemetery (Vlamertinge) (West Vlaanderen Belgium)

PITTS ROBERT BENNETT
United Kingdom Corporal 20239 Royal Field Artillery 25/09/1918 Age: 23 XV. F. 2. I have a lovely photograph of him. What a terrible waste of a young life. War is so sensless, nothing is so precious as life, everything else is not that important

But I will want to see some of the cemeteries you've listed after seeing your work. Thank you so much for sharing this!
