barrieduncan Posted 27 March , 2006 Share Posted 27 March , 2006 Hi all, Wondering if anyone can help determine where a soldier may have died. I have a 1914-15 star to a Pte Ralph Graham (9812) of the 1st Batt. A & S Highlanders. Pte Graham was killed/died on 10/05/1915 and is buried in Bedford House Cemetery, enclosure 2.I.A.11. Can anyone tell from the date of death and his unit, what action he was killed in? Thanks in advance, Barrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Coulson Posted 27 March , 2006 Share Posted 27 March , 2006 They were part of 27th Division so I would go for 2nd Ypres, Battle of Frezenburg 8th-13th May. Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrieduncan Posted 27 March , 2006 Author Share Posted 27 March , 2006 Thanks for that guys. Had a look there in the hope that the War Diary was on the Documents Online lists, no such luck Ah well, at least I know where he was, can start digging through the books again.
