Hi Chris

Thank you for the offer. I have four Aussies in the RNAS on the Arras Memorial (who are listed under UK) and one AFC at St Sever if at all possible. There are no panel numbers listed on the CWGC for Arras.

Chris - I note St. Sever is on your list. If you have time I would be grateful if you could get a photo of Corporal C. S. Gill’s headstone in ST. SEVER CEMETERY EXTENSION, ROUEN. I had hoped to fit this into my trip itinerary earlier this year but realistically its was not on, having only seven days door to door, and Albert being the most westerly point in an already fairly tight (cycling) schedule.

Cpl Gill’s CWGC casualty details:

Name: C.S. GILL.

Rank: Corporal

Regiment/Service: Lincolnshire Regiment. Unit Text: 1st/5th Bn.

Age: 23. Date of Death: 15/10/1918

Service No: 240913

Awards: MM

Grave/Memorial Reference: S. II. F. 22.

Cemetery: ST. SEVER CEMETERY EXTENSION, ROUEN

Cheers, Terry

That's quite a few I'm afraid, but feel absolutely free to leave out any if they threaten your itinerary or timescale (or patience). If possible, I'd like to be able to read the personal inscriptions (if any) on headstones, or have a note of them if obscured by foliage etc.

Anyway, please have a good trip.
