Kirechkoi-Hortakoi Military Cemetery, Greece

[Steffyj1]

Asking for advice please. Is there a page with the individual memorials to these fallen heroes?

I have a Private Michael Scully, 6th Garr, Bn, Royal Welsh Fusiliers laid to rest here after his death 11/11/1918. Grave number 419.

I would love to see his commemoration. Any advice welcome

Thanks

Steph

Hi. Yes I’d seen the word sickness on another site. That’s him. How did you discover bronchitis. Thanks I’m grateful.

That cemetery was extremely well kept when I visited a few years ago. I would say exceptionally, so much that I wrote to the CWGC after my return to congratulate the gardener. I'm hoping to visit it again with the SCS in one of the next two years, We visit the campaign area each September.

How lovely. I have been to the (now) Thessaloniki on a holiday in Greece, but would never have known all of this information .

Thanks so much for this. I didn’t have a subscription to Fold3 so couldn’t see this. I’m so grateful. Thanks
