WW1 Casualty Clearing Stations

Post by G.B.C. » Fri Nov 02, 2007 8:35 pm

Greetings to all. This is my first post.

Where can I find the location of a particular CCS as my wife`s uncle died in one and has no known grave but is named on a panel in the Loos Cemetery ( Also known as `Dud Corner`).

Hi G.B.C.,
Welcome to Talking Scot! [talkingscot]

I'm afraid I'm totally ignorant on the topic you raised, but surely someone will come along soon who can give you some useful hints.

Hope to see you around on the board!
All the best,
Sarah

Hi what information do you have on him. His name, rank, serial number and his regiment. If you can get that there is website http://www.1914-1918.net there is a forum on there if you give them the answers to the above they will give you the information you require. Hope you find what you are looking for.
Always looking for rellies near and far, especially Toy(e), Berwick, Tobin, Quinn, Gallagher, Pope and Anderson

If you know when and roughly where the person died you can work out what CCS he may have been taken to using the following website:

I have managed to do exactly this for my Great Great Uncle who died at the 1/2 London Casualty Clearing Station.

Good luck. :)
