241st BRIGADE GRAVES IN FLANDERS
Graves in Vlamertinghe New Military Cemetery |
The first eight graves from the left are those of comrades of A/241. All were killed in action on 11th September 1917. They died in the same incident when a gas shell exploded in the entrance to the dugout in which they were sheltering. From left to right, the men in the first eight graves are: Bdr 830113 Stallard A H; Gnr 831567 Creese, Ernest William; Gnr 836496 Webb, Harold Ernest; Gnr 831566 Werrett F E T; Gnr 830706 Lerry, Sydney; Dvr 845344 Collett A E; Gnr 831931 Davies, George Vincent; Gnr 830914 (2880) Yoxall, Ronald. Three more of their comrades, Bdr. 830158 Sier Thomas, Gnr. 184276 Rose W and Gnr. 198701 Gower J.W. later died of wounds having been involved in the same incident. Bombadier Sier is buried in Duhallow Cemetery, the other two in Gwalia. The war diary for that day says, "Uneventful. Artillery shewed great activity on both sides." It is interesting to note that these eleven men represent nearly 10% of all those in the brigade who died in action during the war.
