DMannus Posted 19 June , 2009 Share Posted 19 June , 2009 Gary not at all unusual in the UK, particularly if they were related. I believe it was a common practice near military hospitals. This is a photo from Dundonald , Northern Ireland. regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeesown Posted 19 June , 2009 Author Share Posted 19 June , 2009 Hi David thanks for that I just thought it strange,with the Father in WW1 and the Son in WW2 but as you say it is next to the Hospital. Thanks Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KevinEndon Posted 20 June , 2009 Share Posted 20 June , 2009 I wonder if the bodies of the 3 Mochrie brothers who died on the same date with different regiments were found, if all 3 would have been in the same grave in Dud Corner. Does anyone know to 3 relatives within the same grave, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
