Terry Carter Posted 6 January , 2015 Share Posted 6 January , 2015 Is there a similar site to the CWGC for French soldiers killed in France during WW1. Marichal was a former French officer who resigned his commission in 1908. Married an English lady, possibly from Birmingham. Moved to Canada and he and his family survived sinking of the Lusitania. Afterwards came to Birmingham. He is said to have been KIA on 12 August 1916 at the Somme area serving with the 44th Infantry Regiment. I would like to know if he has a grave.

GraemeClarke Posted 6 January , 2015 Share Posted 6 January , 2015 Hi Ah, another Lusitania Translated from http://wheb.ac-reims.fr/dsden51/iria51/IMG/pdf/Brochure_14_18.pdf Joseph Marichal and his family sailed from New York on the Lusitania , to join aEurope during World War II . This luxury liner carrying American passengers, butcrew rumored that also houses ammunition. In addition, a leaflet distributed to passengersrecalls the dangers of navigating a war zone. Throughout the duration of the passage,Marichal asks: Are the risks mentioned real ? The captain would hereally a civilian ship equipped with military equipment, endangering the lives of allpassengers? The sinking of the Lusitania , torpedoed May 7, 1915 , will confirm the doubtsJoseph Marichal and will be an input trigger war in the United States in the conflictworld .
