Maxsparky Posted 16 April , 2009 Share Posted 16 April , 2009 Are you interested in Graves in Northern Ireland eg: HERRON, WILLIAM ARTHUR, W A Lieutenant Royal Canadian Regiment 21/03/1919 25 C. 127. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regimentalrogue Posted 16 April , 2009 Author Share Posted 16 April , 2009 Hi I have been to Croydon (Mitcham Road) Cemetery today and will soon email you the photo of the gravestone of Sgt Wilkinson. It was an interesting visit as the CWGC reference is not correct and the office staff at the Cemetery were very interested and very helpful and showed me the original book entry from 1919 and eventually they identified the grave position. I will scan the revised cemetery details and email it along with the photo Judy Croydon (Mitcham Road) Cemetery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regimentalrogue Posted 16 April , 2009 Author Share Posted 16 April , 2009 Are you interested in Graves in Northern Ireland eg: HERRON, WILLIAM ARTHUR, W A Lieutenant Royal Canadian Regiment 21/03/1919 25 C. 127. Adrian58, Yes, I am very interested. It looks like you have discovered an error in my earlier research; I apparently linked his name and initials to the wrong W.A. Herron. I will have to gather the details to correct a few entries in my site. Thank you very much, a photo would be most welcome if possible.

laughton Posted 19 April , 2009 Share Posted 19 April , 2009 Impressive assistance to a fellow Canadian - you are all to be commended for your input!

Maxsparky Posted 22 April , 2009 Share Posted 22 April , 2009 Michael, The below named are they of interst to you? They are mentioned at Belfast City Cemetery Regards Adrian HETHERINGTON , J Private 841318 Canadian Infantry 27/12/1916 and YOUNG, CHARLES, C, Sergeant, 706672 Canadian Infantry 06/08/1917 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regimentalrogue Posted 22 April , 2009 Author Share Posted 22 April , 2009 Adrian, thank you. Private Hetherington was serving with the Quebec Regiment, and is also noted as being a soldier of the 148th Canadian Infantry Battalion. Since neither of those units was a front line battalion and the 148th only made it to England in Oct 1916, it would appear that he never made it into France and likely died of accident or disease. Sergeant Young was serving with the Alberta Regiment, and is also noted as being a soldier of the 103th Canadian Infantry Battalion. Again, possibly no service in France as the 103rd Battalion was absorbed into the reinforcement system. Both solders were born in Ireland according to their attestation papers. Neither soldier falls within my current research project, but their details are now here, in case anyone is researching them in future.

regimentalrogue Posted 28 April , 2009 Author Share Posted 28 April , 2009 Thanks to Judy, I've now also been able to add the photo of Thomas Watson's grave in the Tyne Cot Cemetery. And even though there are still seven soldiers left in UK cemeteries, the response has been amazing. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judy7007 Posted 30 April , 2009 Share Posted 30 April , 2009 Hi Michael I have been to Tottenham Cemetery today and have a couple photos to send you of the memorial for Pte John Nearing. This is the last one I can do for you (in the Greater London area) and it has been an honour to visit the memorials and resting places of these men. I sometimes go to France and Belgium on coach tours and will keep a list of the ones you are looking for there just in case the group visits one of those cemeteries (as happened with Tyne Cot last weekend). I will email the photos to you later this evening Kind regards Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judy7007 Posted 9 May , 2009 Share Posted 9 May , 2009 I have it in my sight to get to Epsom cemetery in the next month or so and will keep a watch to see if you still need that one. Regards judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloughnane Posted 26 May , 2009 Share Posted 26 May , 2009 Michael, I was in the Epsom area today and photographed WH Cummings' memorial. The First World War dead that are buried in this cemetery do not have headstones as such - they are named on the wall with a plot number next to their names. There is a numbered stone plaque in the ground corresponding to the named men. I hope that this makes sense. An email with the photos will be on its way to you shortly. Regards, Kev Loughnane P.S. I hope that I haven't stepped on anybody's toes in doing this today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judy7007 Posted 30 May , 2009 Share Posted 30 May , 2009 Hi I was at Monchy-Le-Preux last week and took a photo of the headstone of Private E Howard which I'll email a bit later. I also took Panel 10 at the Menin Gate if you still need that one. kind regards judy PS Kev, very pleased for RR about Epsom as it was probably my toes! I just wanted RR to know that eventually he would get it (and reduce the number remaining to 4) but it's quite a long way for me and I don't drive so it's great it's done.
