Phil Wood Posted 26 April , 2015 Share Posted 26 April , 2015 If you haven't got it yet Wadham from Bridport - a local lad who died from falling off a train while visiting Bridport for his mother's funeral. A short bio is displayed in the cemetery. Looks like the family are still tending the grave - it's got its own little garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithmroberts Posted 26 April , 2015 Share Posted 26 April , 2015 This morning the Australian War graves in Milton Cemetery were the focus for Portsmouth's Anzac Day commemoration which is traditionally held on the nearest Sunday. If you need those graves recording send me a PM. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it - glad to be of use. However - you have him as born in Mildura. I think you'll find he was born in Bridport. Hi Both the CWGC & his Service records show that he was born in Mildura, Victoria, but on reading through his service records from the time of his death, it indicates that he was from Bridport, so will change the website entry. Thanks so much for this Cheers Beth (sandybee49) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John(txic) Posted 5 May , 2015 Share Posted 5 May , 2015 Sandybee, I failed miserably to find E B Beddow in Bilston last week: I have asked the authorities for a plan of the cemetery so I may return. However, I did find gravestones remembering H V McVittie and Arthur Woolley: would you like these to be going on with? If so, please PM me with your e-mail address.

clive_hughes Posted 15 July , 2016 Share Posted 15 July , 2016 Question: Would you want photos of family graves in the UK which commemorate WW1 Australian service personnel who have war graves overseas? I came across one recently. Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevem49 Posted 17 July , 2016 Share Posted 17 July , 2016 Good. I was visiting anyway whilst doing D of E as I like to pop in to cemeteries which have war graves. I remember that for years (until 2008) it was very overgrown with large hedges all around it. It was really difficult to find anything. Today it is well kept and looked after as two local Hotels donated for its clearing. Prior to this cemetery, Catholics were buried in a corner of the Great Longstone C of E churchyard.

reeves_colin Posted 18 July , 2016 Share Posted 18 July , 2016 Hi Beth Just stumbled upon your post. Have you got this one? William Oakes 6092 13 Battalion William was born in Swindon, England but Attested in Australia. William was wounded during WW1 and returned to Australia. As can be seen from his headstone, he lived until 1960, when he was 73 years old He is buried in Christ Church, Swindon, Wiltshire. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
