Thank you Pierre for all your work preparing this website. I have an old picture of my great-uncle James Kydd who died in WW1. Now I have have a picture of his gravesite at Tilloy-les-Cambrai. I will be able to pass on my information to my grandchildren. I wish I had found this information while my grandmother (his sister) was still alive. I hope to visit the cemetery someday soon.

Pierrot,
Je voudrais te dire combien ton grand-père serait fier du site que tu as réalisé.
Il a toujours été très attaché au travail de mémoire.
Peut être faudrait-il que le site soit fait aussi en français.

28-12-2005 - 20:06
I was thrilled to find the grave of my father's cousin William Bryce Dargavel.
On behalf of my family thank you for all your care and attention of these valiant men.

19-11-2005 - 02:39
Pierre, thank you for the great work you've done - especially for the pictures of Jemappes cemetary. These Canadian soldiers mean a lot to me. They all saved my family. Thanks for the picture of Alexander Burnside.

Thank you very much and I hope I get the chance to thank you in person one day.

I often thought of my uncle John over the years dying at Dunkirk. My mother would tell me that her brother, John Mather Carnochan was reported to have "stepped on a landmine" at Dunkirk. Thank you for providing me with this poignant family and historical gem.

26-09-2005 - 19:57
Thank you for finding the photo of the grave i wanted. this is a great site. please keep up the good work

05-09-2005 - 14:59
Pierre,
Thank you so much for your work. The picture that you posted on the Aulnoy Cemeterie site is the one me, my wife and daughter left there when I visited my grandfather's grave . We are the only members of William Condron's family to visit his grave . It means so much to us that you are taking your time to do such a noble thing.
may God bless you,
William O. Bray (Grandson of William Condron Bray)

As we have thanked you personally for your kindness when Therese and I were in Belgium, I thought it about time I also acknowledged the great work that you are doing with this site. Through your help and other like you who have this great interest in both wars, I was a able to acquire pictures of the graves of all the men from our small community that make up our cenotaph. In particular I thank you for posting two headstones on your site. Although our time was short, the visit to Essex Farm , St George's Church , Tyne Cot Cemetery and a visit with Steve Douglas will long be remembered. The fact that there is so much more to see leaves the door open for hopefully another trip.
Kindess Regards Therese & Don Pottie

Thank you so much for all the work you've put into this. Two of my grandfather's brothers died in WW1; though neither my father nor I ever knew them, I feel privileged to see their last resting places and hope one day I will get to see them in person.

Wonderful site full of excellent information. Well done and keep up this important work

22-04-2005 - 00:07
Pierre,
Thanks for the link - I've spent a little time earlier on today looking through your site, as I said in my e-mail most impressive! Looking at your "Unusual" section and the two Canadian soldiers (F and T Manning), given their service numbers are one apart I think it's very likely they are related, although the CWGC site doesn't give their ages or any other details. Excellent site!
Alan

21-04-2005 - 18:47
Really nice site - good info and some super photos. Excellent! Will be adding you to my links if that is okay?

Magnifique travail sur les cimetières britanniques de notre région.
Petit regret: les 3 cimetières de mon village
Montbrehain ne sont pas inclus dans ce gigantesque travail.

Pierre,
Your site is excellent - well done indeed.

Hi Pierre, I was deeply moved when I visited your site this morning and saw a picture of the stone that marks the grave of my Uncle Dick in Unicorn Cemetery.
He was an uncle I never knew, except from conversations, his brothers had about him. I don't even know if they knew he had a grave in France. All they knew, I think, is that he died a few weeks short of the Armistice. But now, thanks to you and a few others, the memories of these brave young men who sacrificed their lives liberating countries from the Kaiser and Hitler, we can now see where they rest in peace. I can't begin to express my thanks to the people of France and Belgium for their devotion and love they display in the care and attention of maintaining these resting places all these years.
May God Bless you all.

it is a wnderful thing you have done pierre.These young lads deserve to be remembered.They were so young.My
grandads cousins Mathew and John Asselbrough were killed within weeks
of each other in october and november 1918 one two weeks after armistice Day.
Mathew was an only son.He had twelve sisters seven died in infancy.He was a coal miner at Trimdon Colliery in county Durham
and His Cousin John a coal miner at whitburn colliery. also in county durham
near sunderland.
Thank you for being so caring and doing such a grand job.

16-02-2005 - 00:52
My Grandad was taken in 1940 and often wonder what he was like.I heard so many times that i am like him in so many ways.....Not such a bad thing eh Grandad.Mum and her sister Freda still miss him so much and talk about him all the time. I look forward to the day when i finally meet you Grandad.Thank you to the people who tend your final resting place....Love from your grandson ,Kit

My father, James is survived by his two daughters now living in NZ-Eileen Matthew {Kennedy} Christchurch NZ and Freda Thomsom Matthew, Auckland NZ. we miss hime still--so much and he has missed seeing and knowing his 10 grandchildren and 19 grt grandchildren--so many of them are "lookalikes"-the genes are strong Dadda. Mamie--his wife remarried an NZ soldier, in late 1945 ,on his way back to NZ after his incarceration in Austria and Germany, Mamie died in 1995 in NZ. I would be so happy to hear from any other family members of Dads battalion or friends who remember anything of the battle. Well done to the villagers of Bruyelle who still visit and give homage to the fallen, they are wonderful people who took me in while visiting the cemeteriy and we have forged a close friendship with some of the families there. My address is 21 Norwalk Cres. Peninsula Park Estate, Mangere, Auckland 092754809.

Pierre. What an excellent effort and a wonderful tribute to these young Soldiers who died so far from home.
James MacGregor Smith was an only child born to Fredric and Christina Smith. James enlisted with the Army in Feb 1916, and left New Zealand in July.He had several admissions to hospital in England and France due to sickness and injury. He was promoted to Bombardier in the Sept of 1918, and died in the Oct, just 2 weeks from wars end.
A Death notice for James inserted by his parents cotained this verse.
We pictured his safe return,
And longed to clasp his hand,
But God has postponed this meeting,
T" will be in a better land.

Keep up the good work Pierre, this will become a very popular site.

Regards Albert E Smith

It's a wonderful tribute Pierre. I am astounded by the care and attention lavished on these cemeteries in Belgium and France.
As you know, my Uncle Richard Buckley lies in Unicorn Cemetery at Aisne, France. He was KIA in September 1918 a few short weeks from the Armistice.
My father, Jack, served in France at Ypres. Uncle Frank in France and Gallipoli. Unlce Harold in France in WW1 and WW2. My cousins served in Normandy and Germany during WW2, and my Uncle Ralph never forgot Belgium and its people and visited the country annualy until his passing.
Hopefully, I will visit Belgium and France this year.
I have to make a pilgrimage to Aisne to the grave of the uncle I only knew by name - Dick. he was the youngest of the five brothers all from the tiny village of Madeley in Staffordshire, England.
Someone sent me a beautiful picture of his restig place. It looked as though the stone was only placed there this morning. Such care!
Many thanks for what you are doing.
