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
my wife`s great uncle George Barnes

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
All the very best in the rest of you life

My great great uncle is buring at Hooge crater. His name is GILLON WILLIAM
New Zealand Rifleman 51518 New Zealand Rifle Brigade 13/12/1917 IV. H. 7.

If you are ever passing with a camera a photo would be treasured. I have a photo of him I could send you.

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.

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!

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.

Thank you Pierre for all your help with photographs of my great uncle, Harry Small's grave and of Avesnes-le-sec Cemetery. It was wonderful to see them. Best Wishes, Jim

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.

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.

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
Robert

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.

09-11-2006 - 22:42
Dear Pierre, I cannot thank you enough for your wonderfull website. Using it I was able to find the grave of my Grandfather James Hegarty whom I had never known. He is burried in Duhallow A.D.S. Cemetary IV.F.19. Thank you for helping fill in this unknown in our family history.

Dear Pierre, I cannot thank you enough for the care, time and effort you have put into this website. I have found my uncles grave from the information you have provided and seen the section where he is buried in Nord. I live in Australia and will probably never get the chance to see it in person nor my mother who was 6 years old when he died. It is good for us to know that someone other than us care about these men and women who died for their country so far away from home and hearth.

Thank you and Merci from Aussies everywhere for the work done and you are continuing to do.

My father-in-law's brother was killed and for years the family did not know where he was buried. or even knew that he existed..through some research I remember seeing that he was listed as having died in Belgium. I want to thank you for listing all fallen heros, as I was able to find him - his name was Pte. James William Goodchild, of the British Middx Regiment.

I am a Great Neice of Corporal John Carter Shanks 5721920 2nd Battalion, Dorsetshire Regiment.

Thank you for listing my Great Uncle, I can only hope to one day visit the cemetery with my family. We are now in the US, but the internet makes the world just a little smaller.

15-10-2006 - 00:04
Thank you so much for this wonderful site. My family are honoured to have my fallen family members on your site. You conduct this site with sensitivity and honour.

On a visit to France with my father in October 1999, we visited a Military Cemetery at Beugny just north of Bapaume and in the cemetery called Red Cross Corner we found the headstones of 2 soldiers (nearest the camera) of the Worcestershire Regiment (Lance Cpl L. Lawrence & Pvt. F. Neale) both of the same Battalion as Thomas who died on the same day as Thomas. Also at the far end of the same row are 7 headstones to Unknown Soldiers. Is one of these Thomas?

05-10-2006 - 20:17
after many years my son and I have dicovered the final resting place of my uncle George and have arranged to visit next month thanks to the wonders of the net and the amazing dedication of the French people

My relation Arthur Lewis Faulknall was only 18 when he was killed on 2/11/1914 and my visits have been the only family visits to his grave. A beautiful quite peaceful spot

Whilst tracing my family tree I discovered my great great grandfather Frederick James Hopper (who was from Darlington, Co-Durham, England) died during the First World War in June 1917 whilst trying to save someone else's life. Thank you for keeping his memory alive along with all those others who also sacrificed their lives.

17-09-2006 - 19:07

Many thanks for your dedication in setting up and maintaining this site. I have just recently discovered that I my Great Grandmother lost her nephew, who was with the N.Z.E.F., in the Great War. Reading their correspondence makes me feel very sad and it is comforting to know that through your website he is remembered and honoured.

Yours sincerely,
