dave ricketts Posted 16 August , 2011 Share Posted 16 August , 2011 Rutland in the Great War has an entry for Sapper John Jarvis Baines, who enlisted into 10th LROC in February 1917. According to the entry, he died at 62 CCS of bronchial pneumonia on 4th March 1919, and is buried in a cemetery "near Courtrai, Belgium." I can't see him on CWGC. (It might be me, but no RE J. Baines in 1918 or 1919 are evident.) I assume that if I am correct that he isn't there, he will be swept up by IFTC? Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
