sandybee49 Posted 4 December , 2014 Author Share Posted 4 December , 2014 Mary If you phone the CWGC (mornings only until further notice) they will give you the grave location in proximity to a Commission Headstone. I have saved hours of my time and my arthritic knees using this method Good luck ! Peter Hi All, Thanks so much for all the effort everyone has put into finding this location for me, it is as always very much appreciated Cheers Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysie Posted 8 December , 2014 Share Posted 8 December , 2014 Hi Folks , my husband headed back to Dumbarton armed with all the new knowledge and information from Peter & NigelS to try and find the grave of Robert Marshall ,sad to say he returned empty handed after walking around the cemetery for two hours. He went into the office and showed them that it was 37Z instead and not 372 as shown on Cwgc site but they have no such name in their books, he even showed them the picture of the headstone that is on the CWGC photographs site but no joy. When he got home he phoned West Dumbarton Council offices spoke to a lady who said she would get it in the ledgers and phone him back with the grave ref, at close of office at 5pm he had no reply .So when she phones tomorrow if they cant find him either then it looks like the only hope is to do as Peter said and to phone the CWGC and try and find the nearest Commission stone to it and see if that works as it is to cold and wet to keep walking round in circles.

Mary. Mary I know the feeling well, I have spent many hours looking for private memorials. The CWGC will be able to tell you where to look in proximity to a CH but remember they only take phone calls in the morning now Good Luck Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysie Posted 8 December , 2014 Share Posted 8 December , 2014 Thanks Peter , i think if they cant find his records in Dumbarton Council ,my husband will ask Beth if he can buy the picture from the War Graves Photographic Project and email it to her ,it will be a lot cheaper than the cost of the petrol running back and forth from Falkirk to Dumbarton,it is not so bad in the summer but the cold and wet means there is no joy in it at this time of year.

mysie Posted 9 December , 2014 Share Posted 9 December , 2014 Well done Peter in having the photo of William McNaughton,saved my husband having to go back to Mars Wark ,going by the picture it looks like the headstone must have been already up and his name has been added to the base of the headstone when he died.Still no word from Dumbarton Council yet.

muckandbullets Posted 17 January , 2015 Share Posted 17 January , 2015 Hi All, I am currently building a website for World War 1 Australian servicemen/women who were laid to rest in the UK and so am wondering if there is any kind people that could help with this project, by photographing their headstones. Hi Beth Here are two Australians from The Canadian War Cemetery Cliveden ,Buckinghamshire. That is Cliveden, Cliveden Road,Taplow, Maidenhead Buckinghamshire SL6 OJA. See GWF thread link Headstone No 32 CPL Joseph James Riley and 35 PTE Harry Element . Details on Buckinghamshire remembers link click on names for details. Only one close up ie Harry Element see Beneath thy feet link. Cliveden is now closed for winter no Joseph James Riley close up. http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=208717&hl= http://buckinghamshireremembers.org.uk/memorials/p394.htm http://beneaththyfeet.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/cemetery-sunday-cliveden-war-cemetery.html Happy hunting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
