POSTED ON BEHALF OF SHELLDRAKE.
Evening Everyone,
I recently visited the WW1 Hebuterne Military Cemetery, in the Pas de Calais, primarily to photograph the grave of my relative; 3976 PTE Joseph JEAVONS, 1-7th Bn Worcestershire Regiment. Whilst there I also took the opportunity to digitally photograph the graves of the other Worcestershire Regiment lads I found there. My intention is to get the images to Louis SCULLY to post onto the site.
The cemetery is a quiet, beautiful and secluded spot, well laid out and immaculately maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Most of the Worcestershire lads lie together in 2 neat rows. I have captured images of the following graves (date of death in brackets);
2LT M B S SPENCER (04.08.1915)
PTE J HANMBLY (21.08.1915)
2LT H S WILSON (14.09.1915)
