Years ago visited Vielle St Girons in Landes France and found a solitary Commonwealth War Grave. This was the grave of RAF Sergeant Herbert Carter. Looked so lonely, so we bought flowers and reflected on how he came to be there and hoped he wasn't forgotten. I've just found a photo of his grave on this website, and hope he will be commemorated along with those others who have lost their lives in conflicts. Well done.

Thank you for showing a photograph of the grave of Sergeant Air Gunner John Cunningham, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve - 622 Sqn. He died 8th June 1944 age 23 years. My Brownies are carrying out research on the names on our village War Memorial, and he is one of them.
Thank you.

I have only just found out that My Great Grand Uncle Private Frederick James Wibberley ( 20864 ) Grave Number, FR0066, from Wellingborough, was in the Gloucestershire Regiment, 14th Battalion WWI and is buried in La Neuville British Cemetary. He was only 22. I shall wear my Poppy with extra pride for him from now on.

Message for Brian Morgan on your post the other day re PTE Reginald Robert Kington who is buried in the Pigeon Ravine cemetery.
Brian, a relative of ours is also buried there- D.W.D.Hirst also Worcester Regiment. It is a very moving cemetery. Surronded by fields. Very lonely, few people visit it ( no more than one visit a year if I remember correctly ) and yet you feel the guys are ok there , together , in this compact cemetery. Bleak and yet so beautiful. Last time we visited , there was a copy of a photo and the last letter home from a 19 year old ( Alf Milligan) who is buried there too ( died 23rd Sept 1918)- very poignant. Look out for it , if you haven't been yet.
We are hoping to visit again soon and will look out for your relative's name.

Very interesting site. I have been researching my wife's family tree over the last year. Her father was born in England in 1904 and spent some infant years in Bermuda with his parents and siblings. This is where his brother, my wife's uncle, Louis William Morris enlisted with the Royal Lincolnshire Regiment, 2nd Battalion. He eventually found himself in France and was Killed in Action, December 14, 1914, 1st battle of Passchendaele. He was 27 yrs. old and had only been in France for approximately one month.
He is buried in Bois Guillaume Cemetery I. A. 4A.
His Regimental No. is 10380.
If there is anyway I could view a photo of his grave monument, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am trying to find out if there will be any official ceremonies on 6/8/14 with regards to the death of the six airmen killed and buried at Plougoumelen, France. Flight Sargeant Len Eunson was my uncle, and I am planning a trip to Europe in August 2014. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Robyn Harding

I have enjoyed my visit to your site and have added a link to mine, as I am sure others members will also enjoy you site.

Hi Jan from Canada,

Sorry it's been so long to reply. I haven't checked for ages. Not sure how to get in contact. There doesn't seem to be a 'reply' button. So here's my email in case;
rocketbunny ( at sign) outlook . com - I've included spaces incase it gets taken off. There is a 44 Squadron association that we go to each year. I beleive you can find the secretary's email via google. A nice chap called Henry has our details. There's lots to tell. Looking forward to being able to pass it on.

All the best
Rob
p.s. Their Lancaster was nick-named 'Kitty' !

Hi Jan,
My Uncle was Fred Salmon who was a crew mate of George Wilis. I would love to hear you

Greetings and thank you very much or the good work and effort you have invested into this website and in memory of those who in all likelihood passed away with my uncle Frank Harrop, which I discovered this morning.

According to my father Albert Harrop (who was also in the Canadian Air Force) he was very close to Frank. I believe my father was located in South Wales serving in a medical hospital during the time of this tragic event.

If possible I would greatly appreciate a photo of his grave.

Thank you very much and regards.

Rob, saw your message about Fred Salmon. He is my uncle. I visited his grave in 2007 at Orleans. Please get in touch.Ken

www.inmem ories.com/Cemeteries/brucourt.htm I am just researching my grandfather, Alfred John Lane, and have stumbled across this website. I would like to say thank you to whomever put the site together to honour my grandfather and the other 5 who died on this date (and of course many, many more). If anyone has any other information on either my grandfather, or those who died with him, I would love to hear from you.

My great-uncle was Dhuratsingh Sajwan ( Correctly it should have been written as Dhurat Singh Sajwan) who is buried at the Saint Venant Cemetery in France. His grave no. is I.J. 5

We would like to visit the grave on the centenary of his sacrifice( (16.05.1915). My father who also served in Second world war in Europe
will be 90 by then but he is keen to visit the grave of his father`s elder brother.

Any help in this regard would be great.

He was also name on the war-memorial in his home town

Tomas(ireland)I have just seen your message posted 02/01/2012 re my letter of 27/12/2011.regarding ref to lte denis bailey.i would be happy to share with you the little info I have on him.

After the untimely death of my beloved Gran, my Mum and I were going through her things and stumbed across a wedding certificate of my Gran marrying a man called John Jones. Total news to us both, my Mum and I set about learning more about the man who captured my Grans heart before she married my grandad. After almost two years of searching I found John. He was aboard HMS Lancastria and is buried in St Trojan de Bains graveyard on the Island of Oleron. Because of Churchills D notice, the disaster of Lancastria is only just coming to light. Pierre's website totally coincidentally carried a picture of John's grave. He has since very kindly added a photo of John. In August 2014, my husband, son and my Mum and Dad are travelling to John's grave to pay our respects. God rest all those who lost their lives in WW2, and in particular those who lost their fight aboard Lancastria. We will never forget.

Thank you for honouring the names of these brave young men who lost their lives in the collision of the 2 Halifax Bombers on 18/12/1944.
Sgt Esmond (Nick) Nicholson was my mothers brother in law(married to her sister Joan) I was always told he escaped the aircraft LV818 , but died from his burns in hospital which is why he was buried at a cemetery in Clichy.
I thank all those who's sacrifice has meant that I and my sons have never had to fight a European war to maintain our freedom.
May they rest in peace.

Thank you for listing the location of my Great Uncles grave at Villers Station Military Cemetery. He died on 1st Dec 1916. I feel blessed to have been born on the 1st Dec 1971. It is my intention to visit him one day and pay my respects. We will REMEMBER them.

My uncle James Campbell,from Auchinleck,Ayrshire , died at the sinking of The Lancastria age 22.His brother John(my father),my daughter Johrene and I visited his grave in Pornic two years ago.It was an extremely poignant time especially for my father as he is 86years old and this had been his first ever visit to his brothers grave.My daughter,with today's technology,played the Last Post,said a beautiful speech with military salute,and laid a REME wreath, it was extremely moving.We would also like to thank the wonderful people of France for the part they played in the past,and for the way the graves have been so immaculately looked after and respected.We certainly will return someday,hopefully on the anniversary of the sinking of The Lancastria.Anne.

I went to Drosay with my husband to visit the grave of my uncle Norman who was shot down near there in 1944. we were helped greatly by Pierre and his friend Regis Biaux in finding out details of my uncle's last flight. During our brief visit, Regis took the time to come and meet us at Drosay churchyard and we had a good conversation.
It was good meeting you Regis and thanks again.

Joseph Entwistle - died 27/09/18 - Marquion (Quarry) cemetery - Soldier and Cricketer - played a good innings. Sadly taken before his full potential was reached. Would have loved to have met you and talked cricket but it was not to be. I will not forget.

Thank you for listing my great uncle Thomas George Graham's final resting place at La Delivrande war cemetry. We will visit him soon. So far from home, but not forgotten.

If anyone is taking photos of graves I would love to have one of Sgt Water Danial Fry's grave, 13th Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment. He is buried Blargies Communal Cemetery Extension, Plot III-D-12. Also, if you would like to send me an e-mail address I would be happy to forward a photo of Sgt Fry. Sgt Fry was my uncle. Thank you so much, Maureen Adrian.

If you can send me an e-mail I can use to send an attached photo of 2nd Lt Gladstone I would appreciate it.

Bard Cottage casualty- 2nd Lt Ralph Oscar Gladstone resided at Crosshills, Keighley, West Yorks and served in the 421 (West Lancashire) Field Company, R.E.

He was killed by a shell on the morning of November 2, 1917,while working alone on trench improvements in Eagle Trench. His body was discovered later that day lying near the 'A' Track and Eagle Trench.

2nd Lt. Gladstone was given a funeral by his unit on the afternoon of November 4, 1917.



Thanks Ralph Bennett

hi, I have been doing some research on my family and notice Cecile Gilleron had posted they were l;ooking for relatives of Ronald greatorex. We are related to him ,

My Uncle ,A Tosh private 26954 inniskilling fusiliers. The family of today never knew you but my dad told us about you when we were young .He never Knew the fact that his brother had a grave site in France he was led to be lieve that your body had never been found.That was until a number of years ago i learned the computer and tracked him down Too late for my father he died in 1983 but it makes the rest of the family proud to know where he lies. We will never forget the sacrfices made by Alexander and others in the great war .Hope there are others out there who have more info on my Uncle "Sandy"

My Great Uncle, Private Theophilus "Offie" Underhill is buried in plot A18 at Woodmarcelcave Cemetery, just outside of Amiens, France. He was killed in action on the first day of the Battle of Amiens on 08 August 1918. Theophilus served with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces 26th Infantry Battalion New Brunswick Regiment. He was a victim of German mustard gas and was only 22 years old. RIP Uncle Theo, and may God bless you for your sacrifice!

my uncle Fredrick t holder was killed in france 73 years ago my family aways said he was missing.but yesterday I was so happy to find he has a grave in mont-des-cats meteren.i am coming to france I just need to bring him some think from home.

I was fifty years old before I discovered the grave of my father George Raglan Brown .Later on a visit to Durham Cathedral I also found that the date of his death coincided with my own birth date. At 73 it is unlikely that I will have the opportunity to revisit his grave. It is a comfort to know that these young men will not be forgotten.
Thank you for this memorial.

Hi, I would love to have the photo of Charles Dewsbury Cope that you have on the website for the Denain cemetary . He was my grandfather and as my father died when I was fairly young, am having difficulty in getting information on my grandparents.

Regards
Hilary
