ph0ebus Posted 29 June , 2012 Share Posted 29 June , 2012 Indeed I do! This fellow is not buried in Mount Neboh Cemetery in Queens...their staff confirmed that with me. However, I have a new lead I am hoping will pan out. The cemetery office opens in an hour or so and I hope to check with them and see if he is where I think he is. This is Mount Neboh Temple, shortly before it was razed in 1984: I will post an update a little later today. -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Wood Posted 23 July , 2012 Share Posted 23 July , 2012 CWGC added the following 'new' WW1 casualties to its Debt of Honour database today – Tuesday 13th November. AM.II Thomas Campbell BEYNON 27905 Recruits Depot, Royal Flying Corps Died 10.05.16 Age 34 Commemoration: Brookwood (United Kingdom 1914-1918) Memorial, Surrey, UK I believe he is buried in the churchyard at Greenham, Berks. I have now located his grave - the inscription is still clear so the CWGC won't need to do anything to it for some time yet. Haven't got access to the burial register yet.
