Remembered Today:

Voormezeele Cemetery

Does anyone know how often the CWGC update their cemetery plans?

I visited Voormezeele Enclosure cemetery over the weekend looking for a particular grave for another forum member.

The details for the individual (Aaron Bailey) indicated that he had a Special memorial but it was not where it was indicated on the plan.

A quick search showed two rows of graves not indicated on the cemetery plan on the CWGC website containing 9 graves in all - including Aaron's. The attached shows where the extra 2 rows are.

CWGC have not updated their plans from the originals produced in the 1920s and 1930s. Neither are they likely to do so as very few have changed (though a handful have!).

Special Memorial headstones can be moved for various reasons as they are not actually placed over graves.

Thanks Terry and Rupert.

Terry - from memory not all the 9 graves in these two rows were special memorials although some were. I knew I should have taken details of the others at the time!
