Dave Phillips Posted 24 December , 2002 Share Posted 24 December , 2002 Does anybody have any information about burials in the Roppenheim Communal Cemetery (13km North East from Strasbourg). The CWGC register does not appear to give any details. I know that Lt. E. Cartwright and his observer (RAF - Independent Force)are buried there. They were killed in action on 22.8.18 whilst bombing Mannheim and were last seen spinning out of control near the target. I do not understand why they ended up in Roppenheim 74Km away. Did the Germans 'concentrate' any other graves in the cemetery? Merry Christmas Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 24 December , 2002 Share Posted 24 December , 2002 Lt Cartwright & Lt Mullen are the only two Commonwealth burials in this cemetery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
