Hello Pierre,
Congratulations on a fantastic site, that has helped me find a connection with my great-great uncle George William Moore, and I feel now at peace knowing he is resting with his friends in a beautiful place. Keep up the fantastic work Pierre, your site has been a fantastic help and a real comfort to me. Thanks.

Pierre, my brother Leslie Cecil George Ball was killed in action on the 20/05/1940 aged 20 yrs and buried in Estainbourg Churchyard (Hainaut Belgium),I was born one year later, in the latter years I decided to research my brothers sevice history. Since my wife and I visited his grave I have been able to obtain from the war department his records and with great delight his 2 medals ,the 1939/45 Star and the 1939/45 War Medal. Wishing to do further research I have visited many websites until I found yours and to see my brothers name heading the website, Pierre you are to be congratulated on the excellent work you are doing for people like myself . Thank You, Roger Ball.

My Great Great Uncle Lawrence F. Hicks is buried in Canonne, a member of the wiltshire reg. Would love to speak to anyone who's own relative would have served with him. Thankyou

28-09-2007 - 16:16
My Uncle is listed in the Bollezeele Cemetery in a communal grave with his two comrades.

28-09-2007 - 10:13
We visited the cemetery in August 2005 and my wife and I found sad and happy moments, because Sgt R Lenihan 5539 Royal Muster Fusiliers was her Grandfather she had never known. Many thanks to you for all your efforts it is appreciated. regards Jim & Aileen Newcombe.

26-09-2007 - 17:08
It is nice to know that Harry Wallond is remembered. He was my grandfather's brother.

26-09-2007 - 13:05
Dear Pierre - Congratulations on your wonderful website. One of the Scottish casualties laid to rest in Calonne Cemetery is my late mother's brother, John Shand Penman who fell in 1940. Until now, we only knew that he was killed in action in either France or Belgium. It's wonderful to know exactly where he is now. He was born in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, Scotland and, although he is far from home, he is still remembered with great pride and sorrow that our generation of the family never knew him. Many thanks.
Pat Reid, Edinburgh, Scotland

Pierre, what a wonderful website you have made, so many memories for everyone and so much information. Keep up the fantastic work. Best wishes. Sue

10-09-2007 - 12:18
Fantastic site Pierre. Have sent you some photos of Vlissegem for your collection. Let me know if they arrive OK

09-09-2007 - 10:42
Leonard Alwyne Gray was my Nan's Uncle and is remembered on the Biggleswade War Memorial in the town centre but until now (I'm 35) I did not know much about him. Just that he was there.
It is nice to know where he is buried and my heart goes out to him and his brother William, who died earlier in 1914, and is buried in Le Touret Memorial.

01-09-2007 - 16:48
A.J.Cooper was my grandfather's brother. Four brothers in total went to fight for their country, but only my grandfather returned. A tragic loss for one family, you'll agree. My uncle has a photograph of Arthur John and I will send it to you asap. Thank you so much for your dedication to honouring ALL the brave young men who gave their lives in this awful war.

28-08-2007 - 17:29
I have been trying to trace my great uncle John Worsley for many a year,and was totally amazed on finding your website to see you've actually got a picture of his headstone on there. Well done Pierre and thankyou! we're on our way over to visit his grave on remembrance sunday..cant wait!

26-08-2007 - 22:57
Our journey has been a long one but a very rewarding one. Thanks to all the help from the family, we are finally "doing right" by the men who fell in the name of freedom.

Congratulations Pierre on a wonderful tribute to the brave who fell and are buried or remembered in Belgium and France. I have just completed a spreadsheet of the 10,835 Australian RAAF deaths around the world during WW2. The RAAF contribution during that conflict is not as well known as their AIF brothers from WW1. I am now engaging as many people as I can around the world to take photos of those headstones. My hope eventually is to have a website where those photos would be available free to relatives who are researching their family members who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.

Members of the RAAF gave their lives willingly in WW2 and are buried in 1066 cemeteries and memorials around the world.

Best regards

Geoff Swallow

02-08-2007 - 10:23
The more I look at your website, the more I realise what a wonderful achievement you have done. Being British and someone who is interested in the Battlefields of Europe this is a first class website and I thank you for it.

I have my own battlefield site - would you like me to put a link on mine to yours?

30-07-2007 - 07:00
I teach the GREAT War to Seniors so even in Texas we remember and remain grateful. Merci beaucoup for a loving tribute to those who made the Ultimate Sacrifice.

28-07-2007 - 12:24
I would like to say a really big thank you to both Pierre Vandervelden and Jean- Michel Dominique for their caring attitude which so many others benifit from.
On behalf of all my family here's a real big thank you to you both (Thank You)
Mike.

26-07-2007 - 21:46
Dear Mr. Vanderveldon,
Thank your for your efforts in honouring the lives of the young men who died in the wars. My great-uncle was Clarence Edward Kinton who is buied in Sin Le Noble, which I visited in 1972. He was born in Huntsville, Ontario on July 7, 1892, the son of Mackie and Mary Kinton and was shot down over Douai. He was originally buried as an unknown airman but his brother T. L. Derwent Kinton (my grandfather), who was serving in the Canadian army, was able to identify him some time later.
My father who was named for him, was killed with the RCAF in the Second War and is buried in Harrogate, England.
Kindest regards,
David Clare Kinton

Thank you for taking the time to set up and maintain this site. My father ( same name) was killed off Ostend 7/11/44 and is buried in Blankenbeghe town cemetery. I have photogtaphs already.I wondered if there are any survivors of that event in the UK.

19-07-2007 - 02:01
Pierre
How can I show my appreciation for such a masterpiece. An amazing tribute to all those brave men & women who made the supreme sacrifice and a wonderful record for research. A thousand thanks for your help in finding Harvey Joseph Heavener, UK Flight Sergeant (Nav) Royal Air Force Reserve Squadron - Age 27; Date of Death 29/6/1944. Service Number 1601409. An Old Boy of The Kings Hospital School, Balakhall Place, Dublin - now located at Palmerstown, Co Dublin, Ireland.

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 !

Regards
Guillaume

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.

13-07-2007 - 14:13
Thank you Pierre for all of your hard work I have just found my great uncle's gravesite. I am tracing my families history , your wonderful work is most appreciated.

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.

07-07-2007 - 10:38

My great grandfather James Mullan is buried in Le Bizet. I am also trying to get in contact with relatives of the other 3 men he is buried there beside. There is a moving story I have discovered and I would like them all to be remembered.

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.
Regards ,
Don Clark.
