Dazscuba Posted 13 January , 2019 Share Posted 13 January , 2019 Having a discussion yesterday with friends and visiting Flanders. Which graveyards in Belgium have the most East York’s Reg graves in? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dubaya Posted 13 January , 2019 Share Posted 13 January , 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay dubaya Posted 13 January , 2019 Share Posted 13 January , 2019 Lindenhoek Chalet MC 29 Underhill Farm 27 Kemmel Chateau 24 New Irish Farm 17 Tyne Cot 16 Tournai CC 15 Bard Cottage 14 Dozinghem MC 14 La Laiterie MC 13 Harlebeke New BC 12 White House 12 Brandhoek 11 Strand MC 11 Ypres Reservoir 11 No Man's Cot 10 PoperingheOld MC 10 Voormezeele 10 Elenwalle Brasserie 9 Poelcappelle BC 9 Ridgewwod MC 7 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.
