Hi all,

Here are some photo's from the inauguration ceremony at the newly renovated British POW cemetery in Lidzbark Warminski.

There are 39 British soldiers buried there, I hope you find them of interest.

Yes, don't know the date it was sent, but I believe it was his last, it is also eerie that my dad, his nephew was born 10 days after he was killed, he was given his name, William John, and was also in Belgium in the BEF forces in WW2!

Thankfully he survived the war/Dunkirk.

Interesting that he wrote my "last doss house" on the card with the Vlamertinghe Chateau. That became true for many of his brothers in arms since there is a military cemetery at Vlamertinghe.

Hi,

He is buried in the Divisional Cemetery, Vlamertinghe, I think that is the one you are referring to, he was killed in one of the first gas attacks on Hill 60

William John Jenkins 1895 - 1915

@bikerjenko: thanks for sharing! Do you have a photo of your great uncle?

Here is a postcard of the Chateau, my great uncle William John Jenkins, was billeted there before he killed on the 5th. May 1915 in the battle for hill 60.

He is buried in the Divisional Cemetery in Leper (Ypres) http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_11_2013/post-16472-0-32549200-1385117327.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_11_2013/post-16472-0-68321800-1385117330.jpg
