Lorna
Have a look at the Commonwealth war Graves site
www.cwgc.org

Type in this man's surname and initials of his forenames and any other info.
It will tell you where he is buried and how to get there.

Subject: [BEL-R] Trying to find burial place of WWI soldier


> This is slightly off-topic. Here in Canada, we are preparing for
Remembrance Day. One of the people I work with brought in mementos of his
grandfather, a Canadian who was killed in World War I, to put in our
Remembrance Day display. I owe this person a debt of gratitude for sharing
these items with us, and he is trying to find out exactly where his
grandfather is buried.
>
> The papers that were given to the family at the time of his death say that
this soldier, and only one other soldier (also a Canadian) are buried in the
cemetery in Estourmel, and it seems to indicate that this is in Belgium, but
the only present-day Estourmel that I can find is in France. The papers
were translated long ago from French to English, so I guess there could be
the possibility of an error.
>
> Could anyone on the list tell me if there ever was an Estourmel in
Belgium? And if so, any idea of where it was?
> If there is only an Estourmel in France, is it close to the Belgian
border?
