Will O'Brien Posted 21 November , 2004 Author Share Posted 21 November , 2004 & the cemetery info Cemetery: BEAUVAL COMMUNAL CEMETERY Country: France Locality: Somme Location Information: Beauval is a village on the main road (N25) between Amiens and Doullens, about 24 kilometres north of Amiens and 6 kilometres south of Doullens. Beauval Communal Cemetery is on the northern side of the village at the end of a by-road leading off the main road - Rue de l'Eglise. Historical Information: The 4th Casualty Clearing Station was at Beauval from June 1915 to October 1916 and the 47th from October to December 1916. The great majority of the burials were carried out from these hospitals, but a few were made as late as March 1918. After the Armistice, graves from Lucheux Military Cemetery were moved to Rows A and G of this cemetery. Beauval Communal Cemetery contains 248 Commonwealth burials of the First World War. There is also one Second World War burial. The Commonwealth plot was designed by G H Goldsmith. No. of Identified Casualties: 249 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted 21 November , 2004 Share Posted 21 November , 2004 Surname DALEY Firstname William Service number 21613 Date of death 21/11/1915 Decoration Place of birth Johnstone Renfrewshire Other 2nd Bn. formerly 18331 Hussars. SNWM roll SCOTTISH CASUALTIES EXTRACTED FROM IRISH REGIMENTS Rank Pte Theatre of death F.& F. So William Daley was probably descended from Irish immigrants of the later 19th century although born in Renfrewshire, Scotland. Seems to have been a former Cavalry Trooper but not Yeomanry or Scots Greys. Here's to him. Aye Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
