    3. Irv Thanks for your reply. Many moons ago I visited Copenhagen Western Cemetery with my parents looking for the grave of Cpl THOMPSON. I had forgotten about this until Yesterday when I visited Agecroft cemetery in Salford, where I found the grave of my Great Granddad. At the bottom was inscribed Also Cpl Isaac Thompson Interred at Copenhagen This linked to the above. We have some of my dads old slides in the attic of the cemetery in Copenhagen. If I find them I will gladly send you a copy. Chris Gleave > > Indeed your man was a PoW on his way home. I have a medal group to a Rifleman Dimpsey who died at sea and was buried at Copenhagen - virtually identical details to your man. He was noted in the 1914 KRRC Chronicle as 'Missing' - but I've not been able to find documentation of Dimpsey's exact details as a PoW. His service history details are:> > > Trio to: Rifleman William George Dimpsey> 1914 Star with Bar, to:> > 7673 PTE W. DIMPSEY. 1/K.R.RIF:C.> > British War Medal, and Victory Medal, to:> > 7673 PTE.
