burlington Posted 9 September , 2004 Share Posted 9 September , 2004 Where is this cemetary- I can't find it on CWGC- or perhaps it is not one of theirs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo Posted 10 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 10 September , 2004 Hi Guys, The soldier (or airman) is 2nd Lieutenant EWC Perry who the CWGC describe as the first British Officer killed on active service in France in WW1. (16/08/14) Sorry, I don't know the location of the cemetery, i'm just going on what i've found on the CWGC website. I've requested more info on the War in the Air section of the forum. No drama if you don't make any progress - it can wait. Simmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilot Posted 10 September , 2004 Share Posted 10 September , 2004 Hello I know this cemetery and I will take a picture very soon. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo Posted 11 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 11 September , 2004 Could you also photograph the grave of Airman HE Parfitt - he is buried next to EWC Perry. (Graves 6 and 7) I believe St Acheul is a French National Cemetery. Simmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmo Posted 13 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 13 September , 2004 Pilot - I was going to ask if you could take photos of the cemetery also - but you already did it! Thank you very much for your efforts on my behalf. Simmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo Posted 13 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 13 September , 2004 Pilot - this looks to be an interesting cemetery, with Belgian graves also. I will visit next year. Thank-you once again. Simmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinWills Posted 13 September , 2004 Share Posted 13 September , 2004 As nothing more than an observer on the sidelines can I say waht a super set of pictures have been posted and how well they provide a impression of the cemetery. Well Done Pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo Posted 14 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 14 September , 2004 Martin, I agree - viewing them it felt as if I was walking through the cemetery. Simmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
