Salonika war graves
I had the chance recently to visit some of the cemeteries from the Salonika campaign of the First World War, and took photographs of the graves of several men with local connections. If there are any relatives out there who would like to have a photograph, please let me know.
Benjamin Booth (East Lancs) (Accrington), died 30 July 1917; Thomas Clough (East Lancs) (Clayton-le-Moors), killed in action 19 September 1918; James Alban Lee (Lancs Fusiliers) (Church), died of wounds 1 October 1916; John Lewis (King's (Shropshire Light Infantry)) (Rishton), died of wounds 25 February 1917; Richard Arthur Robinson (Royal Army Service Corps) (Accrington), died 12 August 1918; Thomas Edward Woods (East Lancs) (Oswaldtwistle/Great Harwood), died of wounds 26 September 1918.
