mmm45 Posted 30 March , 2011 Share Posted 30 March , 2011 Hi Whilst trying to locate the grave of Dvr Lund from my other posting I came across a grave of Pte Robert B Brownrigg ASC MT (MIC gives number as M2/015199 He served overseas from 1915 and the MIC has died 7th March 1919 I cannot find him on CWGC he is in a non CWGC grave. I suppose best way forward is the DC The MIC has nothing on it reference been discharged or anything. Theres also the grave of Corpl Joe Willie Shaw RE gassed at Friecourt died at Woodland Hospital Southport Oct 8th 1916 Non CWGC Edit Have found him here http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=2752000 Lightcliffe Cemetery near Brighouse West Yorks. Very over-run with trees and bushes! Ady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGM Posted 30 March , 2011 Share Posted 30 March , 2011 And this could be SHAW Name:SHAW, JOSEPH WILLIAM Initials:J W Nationality:United Kingdom Rank:Corporal Regiment/Service:Royal Engineers Unit Text:3rd Provisional Coy. Special Bde .Date of Death:08/10/1916 Service No:106188 Casualty Type:Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference:Q. 74. Cemetery:LIGHTCLIFFE (ST. MATTHEW) OLD CHURCHYARD I'm not sure if you've tried this but searching the cemetery, on the CWGC site, rather than for the name often makes life easier.
