Thanks for the work here, remembering the past and courage of soldiers.
I know a lot of english people come in France for remebering.
In Aisne, Picardie, the cemetery of Vadancourt ( Vadencourt ) is a place of peace.
If you pass through France, please come in Maissemey.
Here there is a castle where soldiers were captured during war.
Now it is a quiet guesthouse, where you can have a rest. If so, do not hesitate !

Tasman Contencin-Jackson came all the
way from Tasmania, Australia to fight in France and sadly died there three weeks before the armistice. From his many letters we know what the conditions were like and how he missed his family. I hope one day to visit his grave at Prospect Hill. I have photographs of him. It was great to find your website and I'm sure the ancestors of the men who died are thankful for your memorial.

My husband has just left to try and find his Uncle "Bob's" grave at Schorisse. His name was Edward Claude Malyon, known to all as Bob. It is amazing to me that I have found a picture of it here before my husband will have got there. Many, many thanks for this wonderful memorial. I will tell the family and see if we can get a photograph of him.

Thank you Pierre. I think that you`ve done a wonderful job for which we must all be very grateful. My uncle George is buried in La Vallee Mulatre Extension Cemetery which I visited last year. I only wish that I`d found your site before I went and then I could have visited more of the smaller cemeteries.

Hi pierre.
norm from australia hear,thank you for all the attention that you have given us in the last month in our attempt to reserch

And thank you all for the attention that you give the cemeterys they are a credit to you all.
George went to war at the age of 20 years and never returned but it is of great comfort that we know he is being look after and cared for by you great people

This is a wonderful commemorative site and many thanks Pierre for putting of grandfather Cpl W F West's photo on the site to mark the 89th anniversary of his death.

13-04-2007 - 21:52
Pierre, ton site est remarquable ! Je l'ai dégotté via le GWF (Great War Forum) et je sais à présent vers où me tourner pour des infos les plus complètes possibles.
Bravo et merci pour ton travail de Titan...
Petite question: pourquoi les trois mémoriaux/stèles inhabituels dans le vieux cimetière de Huy (La Sarte) ? Intrigué, je n'ai pu trouver réponse à la question (monuments érigés par le(s) régiment(s) de ces hommes ou peut-être un hommage local à ces soldats ?).
Peux-tu m'éclairer ?
Merci d'avance et encore bravo.

Thank you for your work here. My grandfather lies buried at Le Touret, killed in August 1915 fighting with the King's Own Scottish Borderers. I have his Commission as an officer signed by Queen Victoria. He lies now in a peaceful setting!

08-04-2007 - 16:00
Thank you so much. I now have seen the place where my great grandfather, Alexander Yorkston, rests. He was killed 4 days before the end of the First world War and now lies in QUIEVRECHAIN communal Cemetery. Thank you again for the picture.

Dear Pierre,
A most moving and humbling tribute, undertaken with integrity, dignity and dedication. Thank you for helping generations to understand.

27-03-2007 - 16:28
Dear Piere,
Thank you for the dedication, love and commitment you have made in making this sanctuary available in our office.
I found my uncles grave from the information you have provided and seen the cemetery where he is buried.
We live in Australia and will probably never get the chance to see it in person.
It is good for us to know that someone still cares for this special place that commemorates the gift and sacrifice that these young boys made.

Thank you.

27-03-2007 - 15:29
Pierre
Thank you so much for all the time and effort you have dedicated to this site. It is truly a tribute to the men and women who gave their lives so that we may enjoy our freedom. You have created a great reference site for anyone who may be carrying out research on family members or even the World Wars in general.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much Pierre for creating this wonderful site which I have only just found while searching for any information on Eine Churchyard. The Gunner James LAW RFA 131202 buried there could possibly be my grandmother's younger brother who she told me had died in the Great War. I have been searching for him for 21 years without much success. Could I possibly request a larger image of the photo of the Eine Churchyard's headstones which you kindly offered? We are looking forward to visiting the WW1 Battlefields this coming summer - it is something I feel I must do since James has filled my thoughts for so many years. Many thanks again for creating this admirable site.

12-03-2007 - 17:30
Pierre,

It is great to see sites like yours it helps to show how we must remember those who gave their all and who should never be forgotten.
I am trying to find pictures of the Geel war cemertry at present because my mothers brother is buried there and she has never seen his final resting place.
At 79 years of age she cannot forgive and I was hoping if I could get her a picture of his headstone it would ease her pain.
Please keep up the good work so we can all remember those who fell.
warmest regards
Mike

Thanks once again,

24-01-2007 - 21:14

Flt. Sub.Lt Albert Dixon is my wife's great uncle & was a Canadian from Ottawa, Canada. My wife visited his grave in '02; the first from his family since the 1930's. We were very impressed with the grave site & the fact there were flowers on his grave. The bouquet we placed there are still there as seen in the photo. Also the correct headstone has been errected(RN vice RAF). Hopefully we will be able to make another visit in the future.

20-11-2006 - 17:07
Thank you Pierre for such a useful and tasteful site.I found my Great Granduncle Lance Corporal Walter Corrall 9977 of D Company 2nd Bn. Worcestershire Regiment on your site.
He was killed in action on 20/2/1916 and buried in Cambrin Military Cemetery.
If anyone ever visits this cemetery could they please place a flower at his grave for me, his grave reference is F. 37. Also if anyone could take a photograph of his Grave and E-mail it to me that would be fantastic.

We went to this beautifully kept peaceful little cemetary on Saturday 11th Nov 2006
We are the first members of the family to manage to get to pay our respect the our uncle CSM Herbert L E De La Bertouche DCM. Sadly we didn't get there for 11am but the French people had laid a sheath of flowers there and it was lovely to see that these young men are not forgotten by the local people, and to see how well the cemetery is upkept. Thank you

13-11-2006 - 18:34
What more can i say that people have not already said before me . Your comittment and upkeep of your site is a living tribute to all those soldiers who's lives were ended to soon.
Pierre thank you for the help and advice and its nice to know that someone as dedicated as yourself exists to keep these soldiers memories alive.
Thank You

Last night I looked through a box that my mother left me, with private historical documents and details of my great uncle, Private George McGuire, who died in WW1. I realised I knew nothing about the manner of his death or where he was buried. Within a couple of hours, thanks to your site, I have found his grave.
Thank you very much, this means a lot.
I would also like to visit the grave someday.
