My grandfather. died in 1916 in France, aged 28. Arthur James Perry left a young widow (my grandmother) aged only 22, and two little boys - Harold (my dad) aged 18 months and Leslie aged 4 years. My dad grew up knowing very little about his father and thankfully I was able to track down some information for him in the last few years of his life when I became interested in family history.

War is such a dreadful waste!

I have visited my grandfathers grave on many occasions and think, what a waste of life and for what purpose. Is the world a better place, I think not. I would like to have known him. God bless him for his ideals.

God bless his soul.

yesterday whilst going through some slides from my late grandad, and late dads, i found a slide of Dickibush Cemetary at Ypres, where my late gran's father was tragically killed during WW1, she never got to meet him or knew him.
I guess at sometime in the 60's or 70's my gran and grandad must have visited the cemetary in search of his grave...
I have been privaleged to have visted Belgium on many occasions, and been to both Ypres and Mons... until yesterday i was truely unaware of my great grandfather resting place, and only through researching on line this cemetary have i found his service number 57938 Gunner W.H.Merefield died 1st August 1917 Royal Artillery.
I am now determined to find out more about him, his life, a photo, what happened to his medals... thanks to the creator of this site
regards, mark.

I never knew him, but I will always remember him.

Thank you, Pierre, for what you have done here. Is there anyone that might be able to take an individual photo at Two Trees Cemetery in Moyenneville, Somme? My grand uncle is John Flatley, who is buried there. Also, how do I see this cemetery on Google maps, or google earth? I cannot find the coordinates.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I am Karen Norris. My Great Grandfather George Norris is buried at the Cabaret Rouge British Cemetery. He was a 2nd corporal with the Royal Engineers and was killed in action on 4 September 1916. I will visit his grave soon. It is very important to remember our soldiers, they fought for our democratic rights and we will never know what they went through each day. God Bless them.

thankyou so much for keeping the memory of these soldiers alive. Andrew Bayne left his wife and four young children in Australia to fight in WW1. They were new arrivals from Scotland so had no other family in Australia. One day I hope to go to Belgium with my children to visit his grave.

My Gt Uncle died at the somme on 13 November 1916 and is buried at Grandcourt Rd, his name was Alexander Grimshaw, I would love a photo of his grave if that is possible, and Thank you for all the work you are doing to keep there memory alive.
Regards

Pvt Hubert Cecil Chase of the Canadian Infantry 72nd Batallian is my husband Russell Quibell's Great Grandfather.

Thomas William Gelder buried in Heestert, Belgium is my great uncle. Any other relations out there?
