chrisreeve Posted 4 June , 2005 Share Posted 4 June , 2005 Is there anybody who has pictures and details of the Railway Dugouts Cemetary? My Great Great uncle Sims Reeve is buried there, perhaps someone might even have a picture of his grave stone( long shot i know!! ). Hoping to visit the area later on in the year, so anything that might help. I have grave/Memorial reference no:- VII. K. 1. thanks Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Baker Posted 4 June , 2005 Share Posted 4 June , 2005 The Forum pals tour in April visited this cemetery. My pic shown here is actually looking away from Plot VII 9 (where I am standing), which is on the left hand side as you enter the cemetery. No doubt someone will have a photo or two.

chrisreeve Posted 4 June , 2005 Author Share Posted 4 June , 2005 Thanks for the photo. I dont know what to expect when i visit but i think keeping your emotions in check would be very very hard. What did people do before digi cameras??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Johnson Posted 7 June , 2005 Share Posted 7 June , 2005 We had to use film and hope & pray the camera got the shot you wanted. Much easier now though. PAUL J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisreeve Posted 12 June , 2005 Author Share Posted 12 June , 2005 Pierre i have received the photo of Sims` headstone, thankyou very much. I think it is the first time anyone in my family has ever seen it since he was buried there in 1917. Thanks for all your help! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
