Hi Paul,

Unfortuantely these two chaps do not have a Headstone. As with Andy's 'Leeds Chaps' they appear to be just buried and grassed over according to the records kept at Lawnswood Cemetery.

Regards
Andy

 

Recce Mitch / Drew
The CWGC site has a link to the Cemetery Row E Plot 285 for Edric Hartley (Not CR??!!) and furthermore on the Cemetery link there is a photo of two headstones together.
See: http://www.cwgc.org/CWGCImgs/Leeds%20(Cottingley%20Hall)%20Cemetery.jpg
I hope that is of your chap!
You might find it worth trying for your other chap, too!

 

I went there today and a stone mason chap who had a map of the cemetery told me there was no E section (He showed me the map).

Before I spoke to him I spent nearly an hour walking around and I didn't see anything like the picture in the link.

One of the graves looks like it's got a Royal Artillery badge can anyone make out the second (Left) one?

Army Service Corps ? (later RASC)

 

Cheers Jim,

Not to sound to cynical could they be random graves not from that cemetery seeing as neither is a Recce Badge or am I missing something ?

I'm assuming Recce chaps would have their own cap badge.

Cheers
Andy

 

Andy, I've had the same sort of problem when searching Karrakatta for VC winners (WWI). I couldn't find one. Thanks for trying.

Cheers
Paul

 

No worries Paul, There's still a few more on there I can check for you at some point this year

Andy

 

Andy, Great

Cheers
Paul

 

Going to Horbury, Leeds (RC), Wakefield and Shepley Crematoriums/Cemeteries in a hour or so to get Recce Mitch, Andy Bald Eagle and dbf's chaps.

Sorry it's short notice (Spur of the moment thing) but if anyone wants any chaps from the above post the details below.

Cheers

 

Serjeant HAROLD HUGH THOMPSON





Sorry about the dates mate. I hate my camera!

 

Andy, Thanks and the dates don't matter.

Cheers

No worries Paul,

Did you see what I put in the other Yorkshire thread. I'll email the cemeteries next week hopefully.

Andy
