Martin Bennitt Posted 6 May , 2014 Share Posted 6 May , 2014 Hello Margaret Not knowing this cemetery I was interested to see that all but half-a-dozen of the occupants are Canadians. Good pix as always. Cheers Martin B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in 2014 you posted about the medal winners in Sancourt British Cemetery, including a relative of mine, Robert George Connelly. I was wondering if you still had the referenced photo of his grave marker, as it is no longer available in the post?

I was wondering if you still had the referenced photo of his grave marker, as it is no longer available in the post? Paul, Welcome to GWF. I don't know if this link to Find A Grave helps you with his grave headstone [and a sadly unattributed/unprovenanced photo that is said to be him] https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/25242762/robert-george-connelly M Edit: I hope you already have this, but just in case = his service record at Libraries and Archives Canada: https://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.item/?op=pdf&app=CEF&id=B1917-S052 And here is the London Gazette announcing his Military Medal https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/30573/supplement/3250 Edited 30 March , 2022 by Matlock1418 Edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 30 March , 2022 Admin Share Posted 30 March , 2022 If @margaretdufay hasn’t got it, there is an outside chance (not promising) I might be able to get it next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul99 Posted 30 March , 2022 Share Posted 30 March , 2022 Matlock1418, Thanks for the information and the quick response. I had his service records and the same photo of him and I appreciate the photo of his grave stone. Michelle, thanks for your kind offer. I am very happy to have joined the forum.
