East Yorkshire Reg, Flanders

[Dazscuba]

Having a discussion yesterday with friends and visiting Flanders. Which graveyards in Belgium have the most East York’s Reg graves in?

thanks

A quick search of the CWGC database would suggest that Lijssenthoek MC has the most (named graves) 47, followed by Bedford House (named graves) 44

Although  I stated 'known grave' this may well be wrong as some may be listed on special memorials within the cemeteries. The CWGC database records 1618 East Yorkshire soldiers who fell in Belgium, there are 1093 remembered on Memorials to the Missing - Menin Gate 476, Ploegsteert 363 and Tyne Cot 254. The above list amounts to 372 which leaves several cemeteries in Belgium containing 6 or less East Yorkshire burials to make up the 153 deficit.
