Reichswald Forest War Cemetery

Graeme - please rest assured the pics stay. I will not remove them.

 

Temptage, I have been back to the Reichswald Cemetery last Saturday to have a look at grave 56. G. 8. But this is the grave of Lt M.C. Shawcross of the Devonshire Regiment, who fell on 27 March 1945. So we definitely have a problem with Sedgwick.

 

ooooops.....just noticed my error on reading back.

I have typed 'G' instead of 'D'

Shawcross IS at 56. G. 8
Genge IS at 56. D. 18

but there is nobody listed at 56. D. 8 (not 56. G. 8 as previously mentioned)

Names either side of 56. D. 8 are Conaty and Kellock

Sorry about the error........note to self........double check details before sending in future!!!!!

 

Temptage - No problem.

IIRC you suggest that Sedgwick could be found at grave 56.D.8. If so, I will have a look this weekend (weather permitting)

 

Third time is lucky! Found the grave under 56.D.8:

 

Hi

Just wanted to thank Pieter once again for all the time and trouble he has put in to help.

Cheers, Pieter,

I knew we would get there sooner or later. Well done Stolpi and thanks for putting up with all my mistakes.

 

Temptage, you're the one who derserves to get the credits. It's you who located the right grave number!
