temptage Posted 15 November , 2014 Author Share Posted 15 November , 2014 That would be fantastic James. I must admit when I heard of the exact whereabouts of it, I added it to the list of those I thought I will never be able to get, but if you could wangle it with your friend I would be seriously grateful.

temptage Posted 16 November , 2014 Author Share Posted 16 November , 2014 I dont, but I have had an offer from another forum member, but if you wish to do it, then receiving two photos is much better than getting none. If you wish to make a visit, I will appreciate it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temptage Posted 17 November , 2014 Author Share Posted 17 November , 2014 Rich, the photos are wonderful, and thank you for tracking down the family plot too. It will be interesting to see whether he is actually buried in the family plot, or whether he is just named on it in memoriam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavster1980 Posted 17 November , 2014 Share Posted 17 November , 2014 Well the wall panel suggests he is in the grave yard some where. It only took 3 minutes to find the family plot, think I hit lucky! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temptage Posted 18 November , 2014 Author Share Posted 18 November , 2014 To me that reads that if he is in the list buried elsewhere in the Cemetery then there is a good chance he is actually buried in the family plot, and they acknowledge his location.

RemeDesertRat Posted 19 November , 2014 Share Posted 19 November , 2014 Everybody on that screen wall is buried in Lawnswood Cemetery. As it says in the pic at post 36 some are buried in a mass grave in front of the memorial with no headstones, the others are scattered around the cemetery, some in CWGC plots and some are in family graves.

RemeDesertRat Posted 19 November , 2014 Share Posted 19 November , 2014 Ah! according to Yorkshire Indexers, (panel 13) he is buried elsewhere in the cemetery, i.e. not in front of the memorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemeDesertRat Posted 19 November , 2014 Share Posted 19 November , 2014 Hes on the Leeds Boys Modern (Now lawns wood school) memorial as well with details of how he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBee Posted 30 November , 2014 Share Posted 30 November , 2014 I live just outside the Battle Area , I have photographed each and every readable grave with in the four church yds. If you are still in search I can offer an image. EDIT; Just going through the 500 + photos I had taken and the only one that did not turn out as it should is this one. I have PShopped it to get something out of it, so will PM the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
