Would love a picture of this man's grave (see above for pic, account and location) .... it would bring a bit of closure to a very tragic tale.

Hi Martin,

R. Irish Rifles

Many thanks in advance.
Cheers.

Halibag - do you have connection to this man? He's from my hometown.

Des,
Not at all, sadly. My asking for a pic is in connection with my strong interest in epitaphs.
Thanks again for your kind offer, mate.

Regards,

Halibag & Des

Thanks for drawing my attention to this young man's moving and tragic tale. I missed it the first time around. Will certainly take a photo of his grave

and ditto Andy

Thank you Martin

Understand now Halibag!

I dont know if I have left it too late, but, if not, would be most grateful for a photograph of a headstone in Etretat Churchyard Extension:

Private John Lewis
I B 16

19 January 1917

Many thanks

Going there tomorrow, so should be okay

Thanks very much for the photographs of Etretat. It looks very different to the large cemeteries of the Somme.

Moriaty

You're welcome, it's a bijou cemetery, and one has to say it, Etretat is a pleasanter place for a day out than most of the towns on the Somme, but then it wasn't left a heap of ruins

cheers Martin B

Martin,
thanks very much indeed for the cracking pics you brought back from Etretat. I haven't been there (yet) but the place is certainly a beaut by the look of it. To be added right away to the 'must do' list.

Cheers.

May I add my thanks to this one! Great job.

Des

I've got one for Andy (Northern Soul) as well; Have PM'd him but still awaiting a reply

Unfortunately couldn't find the two American ladies Jim Strawbridge was looking for in the civilians section

cheers Martin B
