    3. Peggy I don't know where you live, but you can get a photo of his grave from the following site http://www.wargraves.org.uk/gravedetails.asp?id=9969 Steve -----Original Message----- From: DAVID PARKER [mailto:parker3250@rogers.com] Sent: 14 July 2006 17:51 To: ENG-WILTSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ENG-WIL] The Great War of 1914-1918 As you will have seen from the CWGC site, your man died on 19 Aug 1920 and is buried in Collingbourne Ducis (St Andrew) Churchyard.. He served with the Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry. Now as I cannot find his name among those who were awarded WWl Campaign medals, I suspect that he served in either the 2/1st or 3/1st both of which stayed in the UK. In general, all those who saw service overseas were awarded a campaign medal.
