John Brown Posted 29 November , 2005 Share Posted 29 November , 2005 I was wondering if there was anyone going to the divisional cemetary mentioned below. If so would it be possible for you to take a photo of the grave mentioned below. It belongs to my great Uncle who served with the 1st Battalion, Leinster Regiment and was killed in action during the second battle of Ypres. I am doing some research on my Grandfather and his brother at the moment but am finding it difficult as I am living in Australia. Hopefully someone can help me with this request as I would like to pass on this information to my Daughter. Williams Grave is located in Grave/Memorial reference A 16A The above Divisional Cemetary is located in Belgium at Ieper (Ypres),West-Vlaanderen. In memory of Cpl William Brown 2620 1st Battalion, Leinster Regiment My e mail addressis jfkbrown@smartchat.net.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaycee33 Posted 29 November , 2005 Share Posted 29 November , 2005 John I am going to Ypres at the weekend and I will get you a photo if I have time to spare. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Mackenzie Posted 29 November , 2005 Share Posted 29 November , 2005 John. Please can you clarify the name of the cemetery that William is buried in. There are dozens in the Ypres area but the burials are not done on a Divisional basis. There are also 750+ W Browns on the CWGC database who were killed in WW1 and who served in the Army. Many thanks. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaycee33 Posted 29 November , 2005 Share Posted 29 November , 2005 Neil I have found him in the Dickebusch Road cemetery 2 km west of Ypres on the road to Pop. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
