This is L/Cpl. Angus Sutherland. He served throughout the war, dying less than 2 hours after the armistice came into being. Read about his life in the section 11th November 1918 on the website. #LestWeForget #ww1 #caithness

My research on Hunters Cemetery is now complete. I have now started work on Y Ravine Cemetery, also at Beaumont Hamel. It’s now available to view on the website. #ww1 #beaumonthamel

I’ve just added a new section to the website entitled 11th November 1918.
It will include soldiers whose lives ended on this day.
I’ve opened the section with someone from my home town of Driffield, East Yorks. Read his story here https://t.co/WiDGCHOq4m

Coming towards the end of putting up my research on Hunter’s Cemetery, Beaumont-Hamel onto the website. Today I’ve uploaded the sad story of the Lindsay family, who lost 3 sons in the war. One of whom, William rests in Hunter’s Cemetery. #theblackwatch #cwgc #ww1 #somme

Finished this off this fine Calvados tonight. A present I received for some research work I did for a group who went to Arras earlier this year. Cheers @FAC_63 #WW1

@FAC_63 @GC_Rail To be fair, I’d thought you would have had enough of beer after this weekend!😁

[rtfoww1 @fallenofww1]

I’ve been busy recently doing some private work for a group who are heading out to Arras this weekend.
So here is a shoutout to The Driffield Historical (Battlefields) Society.
Enjoy your visit lads.

Noticed this small wooden cross on a quick visit to Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh today.

Easily overlooked, this is a repatriated temporary battlefield cross that once marked the grave of 19 year old 2nd Lt David Cecil Hope MacBrayne who was killed in action in June 1917. (1/3)

[rtfoww1 @fallenofww1]

@FlandersBTour I photographed every headstone there on a cold 11/11/2018 morning,for my website research.

[rtfoww1 @fallenofww1]

@FAC_63 Yeah, if you let me know what you’re after

[rtfoww1 @fallenofww1]

Private James Blair Saunders KIA 13/11/1916 & buried in Hunters Cemetery. Read about his life and also how 4 of his brothers fared in WW1 here on the website.
