Thank you Pierre for this lovely site. I came across it by chance searching for more information about a particular cemetery and noticed that you had picked up a photo and information about my Grandfather which was really heartwarming to see. I will now be a very interested visitor to your website. Thanks again.

My dad's pilot and good friend was Captain Ross-Myring. It is possible to know what happened to him or if he has any family?

My father late Sir Maurice Rault and his brother late Raymond Rault were both in RAF. My dad as Navigator in Pathfinder squadron Elsham Wolds and mu uncle in the paratroopers for Normandy landing. Raymond formed part of one of the first british regiment to enter Copenhagen. Do you have any info or photos? Thanks.

Thank you Pierre for tis tribute site. It has been a great help to me in gathering information regarding my husbands uncle . ie Driver Edward Roberts interned in Coivail Community Cemetary. He served iwth the British Red Cross and was killed on 3rd April 1918

My great uncle, James Minshall Cornwell was an Aucklander. I have just ascertained that he was a jeweller in Auckland, prior to his work taking him to Fiji where he worked for two years. He joined the Australian Forces in 1916, and went to war in France where he was killed in action in late 1916. Thank you and to people like you for collating all this info. When we had the opportunity to ask our parents and grand parents about these things we weren't particularly concernd then. Now that we are older, we DO want to learn more, so thanks again.

My Grandmother's first husband, Thomas Odd, was killed in action on September 2nd, 1918. He is buried in France in Wancourt British Cemetery. My Aunt provided me with information on a father she never met...he lost his life in battle at Dro-court line. He enlisted in Canada in 1914 with the 15th Battalion of the 48th Highlanders. I would appreciate any information about this battle or about the 48th Highlanders. I also know he was born on May 11th, 1885 in Halstead, Kent, England.

Would you have a photo of his grave? He is buried at Underhill Farm Cemetery, Belgium -plot B20

Do you have a photo of grave Hope Letters Private Soldier 8093 19I.C.31
Would be much obliged as my Father Hope Letters plans to visit his Uncle.

Do you have an image of the following grave

Private 202533 Manchester Regiment 14/04/1917 Age: 19 J. 7.

My great uncle, Michael Kokoska, a private in the United States Army, was killed June 27, 1918 and buried for 3 years in the Morvillars French Cemetery until his parents were able to have his body repatriated back to Chicago. His death was an accident. He was on guard duty in one of the trenches. Another soldier, Pvt. Richard Howard came around the corner of a traverse trench and my uncle halted him with his gun at the position of ready. The other soldier had been shooting rats, had reloaded his gun and neglected to put the safety on. When halted, he came to the ready position, accidently pulling the trigger and shot my Uncle Michael through the neck. He died shortly thereafter. This account being from his IDPF file. From researching casualty records, and there being no record of him, it appears that Pvt. Howard survived the war. We can only hope he was more cautious after having taken a fellow soldier's life.

Thank you Pierre for taking the time to put together a wonderful web site in the memory of those who have paid the supreme sacrifice for our freedom, Let We Forget.

My great uncle Ernest Richmond Snowdon (Private 6906 26th Battalion 7th Infantry Brigade 2nd Australian Division), was killed in action on 09th October 1917. Family history says that he was killed by machine gun fire and that his body was destroyed by an ensuing German artillery bombardment and hence he has no known grave. Research indicates that he may have died in the Battle of Poelcapelle as the history reflects this family story about the Aussies being forced back and then the entire area being shelled. If you could include him in your casualty list I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Thanks again Pierre for all your previous help, as always the website is an excellent remembrance.

hi, I have just found your site.Thank You for caring..My Uncle lies in one of these cemeteries..He was killed in WW1..along with many others. It is nice to know that it was not for nothing and that someone cares about them all.I have seen his cemetery on your site...Thank You...Elaine

Thank you for this site and for the listing of my uncle Wilford Horton Govers who is buried at Villers-Bretonneux military cemetery. Is it possible to have a photo of his grave? This site is a wonderful memorial to those who fought and died for our freedom. We should never forget.

Well done with this site, it is wondeful to be able to look at the cemetery where my G.Uncle is buried. Private Michael O'Reilly WIR.DOW, died Dec 9th 1917. F. 20. Would there be any chance of getting a photo of his grave.
Tks

We had a pleasant surprise to find this website, especially after returning from the Somme and Belgium Battlefields. Our uncles' Charles Mohr and Augustus Florentius Bosschart Stephens are buried in Courcelette and Guards Cemetery (Lesboeufs) respectively. We left poppies and messages and I believe we are the only members of our families to have ever visited their sites. The cemeteries are all beautifully maintained and people should visit these places if they have the opportunity to do so. Memorable and emotional. May all those soldiers from all countries rest in peace.

Hi Pierre
Great site. Researching my uncle's short history and was pleased to find you have a picture of his and his crewmembers grave sites at Zuypteene, France. His name was WO1 H W Davy RCAF KIA. If it is possible I would like to obtain a copy of the group picture and an individual one of his grave. Am trying to put a history of his life together for my brother and sisters.
Thank you for any help.
Michael
