War Graves-Germany Now I have got my act together I wonder if anyone is able to assist with pictures from the following cemeteries. Pictures of the headstones and a few general views of the cemetery would be appreciated. It would appear that I neglected to request these when I was going through my lists! Munster Heath 3C1 Jenkins 940971 RA/53 AL Lt Regt 23/09/1947 4F6 Williams RA Anythign anyone can do would be most appreciated Regards Andy
Andy, Sorry to go a bit off topic but as I saw a Wilts chap there I did a bit of digging. Looks like his Dad was killed in 1915. CWGC :: Casualty Details BOND, CHARLES FREDERICK GORDON Son of Maj. C. G. Bond, The Wiltshire Regt., His entry here CWGC :: Casualty Details <TABLE class=grey_border style="WIDTH: 100%; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #aaa" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=3><TBODY><TR style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cccccc"><TD width="33%">2nd Wiltshire </TD><TD width="34%">Thursday 25th November 1915 </TD><TD width="33%">France, Givenchy Trenches </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> All quiet during the morning one company of the RF are again attached to us for instructions. At 5.40pm the RE exploded a small mine in front of our trench in the German lines, later a much larger mine was exploded forming a large crater in their line immediately the Battalion bombers pushed forward and captured the position. 'A' Company who had previously in reserve were brought up to consolidate the position which was carried out with a comparatively few casualties. Capt CG Bond was killed by a piece of falling earth. 2Lt JC Badgely then assumed command of 'C' Coy. Capt GP Steer received a bullet wound in the leg Lieut FC Whiting then assumed command of 'B' Coy. The enemy did not attempt to counter attack. His nerves appeared to be shaken, for the remainder of the night he was very quiet. https://www.thewardrobe.org.uk/wardiary.php?action=juliandate®iment=11&date=2420827
