Notes:
A huge amount of work was done by the Imperial War Graves Commission which
later became the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The entries below
are recorded in the above volume from details furnished by Record Offices
and next-of-kin. Families were contacted where possible and asked what
they would wish to be included on each inscription, families were allowed
to pay for up to 66 characters to be inscribed on the headstone.They could
have any other information recorded in these memorial books.
The following men are the only members of their battalion in this Cemetery.
All of these men had also formerly been in The
South Irish Horse, except where noted. (See details on list of SIH
dead).
The first 21 men in the list below were all killed in action, and are
believed to be those 21 men killed when a long range artillery shell hit
their area on 12th December 1917 near St. Emilie. Over 40 men were wounded
in the same incident.
* The two men with this mark, Andrew Joseph Connellan and Arthur Bell
Thomson are recorded in "Soldiers Died ,Volume 23, The Royal Irish
Regt" with different spellings vis. Andrew Conlon and Arthur
Thompson.
The last 8 men in the list below were all killed in action on 21st March
1918 on the first day of the German "Kaiserschlact" offensive.
