aradgick Posted 18 September , 2013 Share Posted 18 September , 2013 Captain Charles Pooley, 5/Dragoon Guards, was killed in action on 9th August 1918 near Rosieres. Although now buried in Caix British Cemetery, he was initially interred in De Lune British Cemetery. Can anyone tell me where this first cemetery was located please?

Tom Tulloch-Marshall Posted 18 September , 2013 Share Posted 18 September , 2013 It doesn't appear in "The White Cross Touring Atlas", so no quick answer. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin spof Posted 19 September , 2013 Admin Share Posted 19 September , 2013 I've had a quick look on Google Earth and am struggling to find a river near Caix though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
