NeuvilleLass Posted 2 August , 2023 Share Posted 2 August , 2023 Interested in this very location as 11 members of the 2nd Bn Yorks are buried there out of the 30 O/R listed as killed in action on 9th April 1917. My Great Grand Uncle Pte George Edwin Speight 28992 is one of the 12 missing of that number, commemorated on the Arras memorial Bay 5. 7 others are buried elsewhere (some exhumed and relocated) at Wancourt, Bucquoy, Achicourt Rd and Etaples. So far I have found 4 unknown casualties of the same battalion in the IWGC burial records at these locations and London Rd Cemetery, where the only officer listed in the war diary of the battalion 2nd Lieu Rapp is buried alongside 3 unknown Yorks. Rest In Peace Gentlemen Pte TS Brown 39064 Pte JR Clark 36280 Cpl E Jones 36040 Pte J Longbottom 30671 Pte TW Makepeace 39082 Pte JJ McDougall 38852 Pte R Miller 30684 Pte J Mitton 30383 Pte HV Proctor 33439 Pte J Stanfield 13356 Sgt A Wilkinson 7572 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 2 August , 2023 Author Admin Share Posted 2 August , 2023 I visit this cemetery as often as I can, as I remember the men of the 2nd Btn Wiltshire Regiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
