Voormezeele Cemetery

[Neil Mackenzie]

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.

Depends on the date of the plan. many of these are quite old ie from inception.

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!
