Steve Newman Posted 14 March , 2007 Share Posted 14 March , 2007 Hi Chaps, Not strictly WW1 but buried in Pwll (Bethlehem) Baptist Chapelyard is one Major Hugh Emrys Bonnell of the RAMC. He died in May 1941 and appears on our local memorial here in Runwell, Essex. I'm still yet to make the connection between him and Essex but suspect it is probably through our local hospital that opened in the 1930's and recruited far and wide. I'm trying to get a picture of his grave to be included in the roll of honour book that I am working on and is near completion. All monies raised go towards helping restore our local memorial, which has many WW1 men on it and gives me a tenuous WW1 connection. If anyone can assist be very grateful Thanks Steve www.wickford-war-memorial.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Strawbridge Posted 17 March , 2007 Share Posted 17 March , 2007 I have one too if anyone is in the area. Swansea (Danygraig) Cemetery; plot K. 243, Ada LESSER, QMAAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard_Lewis Posted 17 March , 2007 Share Posted 17 March , 2007 Pwll is a bit outside my orbit I'm afraid. Danygraig is better and I'll have a look in the next few weeks. The number looks like its a civilian grave - do you know, Jim, if there definitely is a CWGC headstone on it? Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grave is one cared for by the CWGC but I think Terry mentioned that only about 30% get a CWGC headstone. I have looked for others cared for in the cemetery by the CWGC that might be near it but none obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard_Lewis Posted 19 March , 2007 Share Posted 19 March , 2007 OK Jim I'll have a look but I'm off work with a pulled muscle at present but hope to be back in later this, certainly next week. I can pop over to the cem in my lunch hour as its not far. Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard_Lewis Posted 13 April , 2007 Share Posted 13 April , 2007 2 snaps PMd; the rest would be better by e-mail if you let me have it. I don't think I can attach to a Forum e-mail? (I'll try now...) Bernard [nope, can't attach to an e-mail here...] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
