Tom Morgan Posted 27 November , 2002 Share Posted 27 November , 2002 I've come across a reference to a soldier who was originally buried in Louvain Communal Cemetery, but whose grave is now lost. Does anyone have any details about this cemetery? Presumably it was the Germans who had begun war-burials in this Communal Cemetery? The soldier I am interested in was British and was killed in November, 1918. (I have seen the CWGC cemetery details of course. I am more interested in finding out how the grave might have come to be lost.) Any advice gratefully received, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(as a lot of other allied soldiers originally buried between the Germans in former German cemeteries). Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I didn't reply at once - I don't get the time to look on the forum as often as I used to! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurel Sercu Posted 11 December , 2004 Share Posted 11 December , 2004 Tom, No problem. Also because I was not answering your specific question. Which was : how the grave in Louvain Communal Cemetery might have come to be lost. And should you want information about Carlill/Carhil himself, I'm sure Robert's link will provide it.
