Hi my name is Anne Marie and William bainbrigge 1st royal dragoon (who is on the knutsford memorial) was my great grandfather (maternal). I have a trip booked to ypres for the 100th anniversary of his passing on the 13th may 1915 and I was looking for some help. I would like to try and find out where these fallen men were when they lost their lives as I would really like to try and visit where he is likely to have fallen and indeed where they may possibly be buried. His name appears on the menin gate and I will be laying a wreath during the ceremony on the anniversary date. I have previously browsed through the site and came across a post from Billyh saying that he is in posset ion of the diarys from this period but I sm now struggling to find the post again. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Morning Ann,

Welcome to the Forum.

You would have done better starting a new thread as this thread is about memorials. However, while you are here I can tell you he was drafted to France on

19 December 1914 and was killed on 13 May 1915

The War Diary is here for a few quid. If you download it you can see what he did every day

http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C7351529

The memorial is here (click pics to enlarge)

Welcome Anne.

As Greame said if you require more information on your great grandfather William Bainbrigge you would probably be better off starting a new thread.

Using the CWGC site http://www.cwgc.org I looked at the records for men in the 1st (Royal) Dragoons that were killed 12 -14 May 1915, and it found 27 men -

22 (including William Bainbrigge) were listed on the YPRES (MENIN GATE) MEMORIAL, all Panel 5. As you probably know this means that their bodies were not recovered.

3 were buried at HOP STORE CEMETERY, and the other 2 at NEW IRISH FARM CEMETERY.

For more information about these cemeteries use the "Find a Cemetery" option on the CWGC site.

An extract from The London Gazette, dated 11th June, 1915, records the following:-"For most conspicuous bravery on the 7th June, 1915, when he attacked and, singlehanded, completely destroyed a Zeppelin in mid-air. This brilliant achievement was accomplished after chasing the Zeppelin from the coast of Flanders to Ghent, where he succeeded in dropping his bombs on to it from a height of only one or two hundred feet. One of these bombs caused a terrific explosion which set the Zeppelin on fire from end to end, but at the same time overturned his Aeroplane and stopped the engine. In spite of this he succeeded in landing safely in hostile country, and after 15 minutes started his engine and returned to his base without damage."
