Hi I have taken photo's of all the graves in Hermanville War cemetry which has quite a few East Yorks Regt Lads and some Lancs lads, my photo's are on facebook, but will try to put them on this site if it helps anyone.

 

Hi Marianna, Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your kind offer, I have 9 Recce men in that cemetery.

Cheers
Paul

Hi Marianna.

Welcome to the best WW2 forum ever, I have 38 of my 'Airborne' chaps buried at Hermanville and would like to take you up on your generous offer.
Shall I PM you the names?

Hi Marianna and welcome to the forum.

There is a website that is collecting all British Personel killed during WW1 and WW2.

The site is BRITISH WAR GRAVES - WAR GRAVE PHOTOGRAPHS and it looks like they don't have these graves on their database. I'm sure they would be happy for a copy of all of them.

Regards
Andy

Trooper CECIL PLOWMAN 2. A. 20.
Corporal ARCHIE MCARTHUR RENNIE 1. B. 16.

Hi all,

I am looking for any information on Robert Charles Bell-Walker, 153976 – 1st Battalion South Lancashire Regiment. He was my mothers father and died on the beach at Normandy. My Mum was his only child and he died before she was even born. Tragically my Mum died in completely unexpectedly from a massive heart attack in January, so me and my sisters are the only surving relatives of this legendary man. My Mum only had one son, and she gave me his name (Robert Charles). He has always had a very special place in my heart and I would love to learn more about his military life and death on sword. I have been told that he took out a pill box before being cut down by machine gun fire, but I know little more than this. Can anyone help

Thomas... In case you don't have it already, here's a link to Robert Charles Bell-Walker via the cwgc website... CWGC :: Casualty Details
