Ken Lees Posted 22 December , 2023 Share Posted 22 December , 2023 I have finally revived an old project which has been on the backburner for years, and it involves looking at CWGC Exhumation records to establish where remains were recovered from. I have a problem with the records for Ration Farm Military Cemetery, as there are no exhumation records on CWGC for that cemetery, when clearly, many bodies were brought in after the war. A search of the Forum brings up mention of the missing documents from 10 years ago. Does anyone know if there is any likelihood of the CWGC having any documents (off-line) that might identify original burial locations in this case?

jay dubaya Posted 22 December , 2023 Share Posted 22 December , 2023 Must admit it’s the first I’ve heard of a complete missing set of returns. It’s got to be worth enquiring about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDT006 Posted 23 December , 2023 Share Posted 23 December , 2023 There are more cemeteries where the entire set of concentrations forms are missing. Examples: Anneux British Cemetery and Brie British Cemetery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dubaya Posted 23 December , 2023 Share Posted 23 December , 2023 Thanks for that Luc, do we know why they are missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDT006 Posted 23 December , 2023 Share Posted 23 December , 2023 I assume that they were lost but haven't asked CWGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dubaya Posted 23 December , 2023 Share Posted 23 December , 2023 They must be lost, I can see no other reason why they wouldn’t be accessible via the database Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
