    Well I thought you guys might appreciate them.

    Still searching through my stuff, I have a plan, I will pick up some boxes tomorrow from work and I will try to start and separate WW1 from WW2 that are mixed in the other boxes if you see what I mean.

    Jock:)

    William John Jenkins 1895 - 1915

    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
