greatspywar Posted 9 December , 2005 Share Posted 9 December , 2005 "Royal Army Medical Corps: Frank M." Great Pics! The train passing by is such a contrast with the cemetery itself. Does anyone have a photograph of that man: Frank M. (RMAC). He would fit for the Passchendaele Archives... . Kind regards, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike10764 Posted 13 December , 2005 Share Posted 13 December , 2005 The Cemetery is close to the railway line isn't it ? I think I might have looked a little more worried than you Derek Certainly is (Railway Cuttings)...aptly named Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle bill Posted 13 December , 2005 Share Posted 13 December , 2005 my wife's great grandfather was brought back here after being wounded with the 1st Dorsets at Hill 60 in may 1915. He was transferred to Bailleul where he later died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Morgan Posted 13 December , 2005 Share Posted 13 December , 2005 The Cemetery is close to the railway line isn't it ? I think I might have looked a little more worried than you Derek Certainly is (Railway Cuttings)...aptly named Very close indeed, Spike - see my photo, taken at 7.30 a.m. one morning in July. Photo taken from the cemetery entrance, looking along the "grass lane" leading to the graves. The railway cutting was used as a communication trench, so I suppose that the burials were made in the first available safe spot on the way down from Hill 60 (the trees on the skyline in the far distance.)

spike10764 Posted 13 December , 2005 Share Posted 13 December , 2005 Thanks Tom, for the picture showing how far the graves are from the entrance, I reckon, if you'd have leaned out you could have caught that train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
