KMF Posted 10 May , 2008 Share Posted 10 May , 2008 Hello, I wonder if anyone has photos from either of these cemeteries? Or if anyone would be willing to take a photo if they are intending to visit? I recently had the cwgc records for these two brothers amended. My husband’s uncle would very much appreciate a photo of their headstones, since he has none of the men themselves.

His brother William Gwynne also fell. Remembered with honour BOULOGNE EASTERN CEMETERY Grave/Memorial Reference: VIII. C. 13. Serjeant WILLIAM GWYNNE 30284, 96th Bty., Royal Field Artillery who died on 12 May 1915 Son of James Draper and Frances Elizabeth Gwynne, of Ballymoney, Rostrevor. Co. Down.

Peter Bennett Posted 10 May , 2008 Share Posted 10 May , 2008 Forum Member Burlington has photographed all the Boulogne graves, if you PM him I am sure he will oblige. The are many pals who visit or reside in the Ieper area so I think you will be successful. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogarcher Posted 20 May , 2008 Share Posted 20 May , 2008 Hello Diane I visited Ypres Town Cem at the weekend and took a photo of the Gwynne grave just in case. If you still need a photo, pm me your email address and I'll send you a copy. Cheers Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
