Description
Correspondence concerning the search for the graves of Driver William R. Beecroft and Lieutenant James Owen Cunninghame Dennis, both casualties of the Royal Field Artillery. The Commission could not identify the location of Driver Beecroft's grave, but later, new information surfaced suggesting a possible location of four graves belonging to soldiers from that regiment. Both men are commemorated on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial.
Content Note
Includes: Original handwritten enquiry letter from Mrs S.A. Beecroft, the mother of Willam R. Beecroft, requesting the location of her son's grave so that his brothers could visit it.
