Wesley was my grandfather and was killed in WW1 in Ypres in 1918. Although in Lincolnshire Regiment, he was born in Eastringtron, E Yorkshire. Is there anyone out there who has him in their tree? Please contact. |

This is from Soldier's Effects and is really who gets the compensation. It states the money to be paid to the widow Amelia and children - children unnamed. |

Hooge Crater cemetery. Why is it that computers think they know better than you do? |

The soldiers effects info is from the regimemt's own base and they say your grandfather was killed in action in France. They may have it wrong as they had to write up so many for the regiments the area/group bases looked after. Your grandfather was death number 682830 on this register. Each group of regiments had a clerical base with the name of the dead and their N of K. Thought provoking isn't it with so many deaths in each group. |

Thank you for that information. I must have a look through the Lincolnshire's regiment. |

If you look him up at the CWGC site (note they get his # wrong) - there are associated documents - one of these details the exhumation. Also the hit has the name of the cemetery as a link - clicking on it gives info abt that cemetery - how to get there, some cemetery pics, and a broad outline of the sort of servicemen buried there. |
