frev Posted 25 June , 2006 Share Posted 25 June , 2006 Hi Jan My great Uncle was killed in the Passchendaele campaign - in the Battle of Broodseinde Ridge 4/10/1917 - will email you his story & photos (as soon as I sort out the bugs in this new computer!!!). Unfortunately the photos are already incorporated in the document - and due to various changes of computers over the years - can't find the original scans (a relative has the original photos - not me - so hope they'll be okay) Cheers, Frev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alliekiwi Posted 8 October , 2006 Share Posted 8 October , 2006 Jan, please excuse my ignorance of geography. Could someone buried at Wimeraux cemetery possibly have been fighting at Passchendaele, or is the distance too great? If it is possible, I have information on the following man: Edward Brindal Allie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatspywar Posted 9 October , 2006 Author Share Posted 9 October , 2006 Hi Allie, I think Wimereux was a hospital, so I would not be unusual for men being wounded in Flanders - Passchendaele - to have died of wounds in France. So far I have 13 men who are buried at Wimereux, so please send in the details on your man! I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
