GER22VAN,

Did you ever get to Tyne Cot? In the new year I intend to pay a visit there as my great uncle is burried there too. Passchendaele is not all that far from me.

I found out very recently that an Irish Great Uncle is out at Tyne Cot,went by the name of Thomas Stoney born 1894 died 16/08/1917.
 
Tynecot

If you had stuck your head above the parapet four days ago I would have located his inscription and photoed it for you while doing the same for Ger22van. If you havn't already got shots of TC i will send you some and locate your ancestor next time
Best wishes

Tyne cot.

Chris. I have sent my email address to you. Thank you for your post.
Cadeau. The answer to your question is, no I have not been to Tyne Cot. My wife is registered disabled and would never fancy the trip (and I have asked her once or twice), as far as I go I think it might just be too late and too much for me.

If there is someone who visits Tyne Cot Memorial could l ask if it would be possible for them to visit Panels 90 to 92 of the Wall Of Rememberance and trace the name of Goldsbury J. on the wall ?
By trace l mean onto paper using the side of crayon and then keeping the paper rolled up and also to leave a poppy at the side of his name. He was my Uncle even though l never knew him.
l await in hope of a reply to my request, Thank you for your time in reading this.
PS My wife is Registered Disabled and does not travel too well.

That's a great site Winston thank you for posting that.
For those who have not been to Tyne Cot the memorial must be 50ft high and hold thousands of names so a big task for people to locate one.
 
tyne cott

thank you momap
there are memorial scrolls for the 1st and 2nd world war which can be printed off.
 
I am sorry I was having a senior moment when I said Tyne Cot was 50ft High. I was getting mixed up with Theipval at the Somme.:redface:
