redescort Posted 5 August , 2010 Share Posted 5 August , 2010 Hopefully his grave will be positively identified and we will see a headstone sometime.... http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=145881&st=0 Rest in peace James Herbert James Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 6 August , 2010 Author Share Posted 6 August , 2010 Ray His grave has already been identified by CWGC but there will be no headstone. It seems that headstones were cleared from this part of the cemetery back in the 1960s and all war grave names are now inscribed on a screen wall which is where James will join his colleagues in due course.
