    3. In case anyone is interested there are several LOVELACE entries on the above site. As an example of what the information available, I am posting the entry for my Great Uncle Henry; I did start to print another, which I then curtailed when I saw it was not the one I wanted. The name was: Henry James Lovelace Rifleman 201509 20th Bn., King's Royal Rifle Corps who died on Tuesday 6th August 1918. Age 27 Additional Information: Son of John Benjamin and Louisa Lovelace, of The Minories, London; husband of Louisa Lovelace, of 67, Fitzalan St., Kennington Road, Lambeth, London ...........there is more information but this is where I stopped my printer, sorry :o( Does anyone recognise this name?

Commemorative Information: Memorial: YPRES (MENIN GATE) MEMORIAL, Ieper, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium Grave Reference/Panel Number: Panel 6 and 8 Location: Ypres (now Ieper) is a town in the Province of West Flanders. The Memorial is situated at the eastern side of the town on the road to Menin and Courtrai, and bears the names of men who were lost without trace during the defence of the Ypres Salient in the First World War. Cemetry: PERNES BRITISH CEMETERY, Pas De Calais, France Grave Reference/ III. A. 25. Location: Pernes-en-Artois is a small town in the Department of the Department of the Pas-de-Calais on the main road from Lillers to St. Pol. The British Cemetery is nearly one kilometre west of the town on the road to Sains-les-Pernes. Historial Information: Until April, 1918, the town was on the French or British lines of communication; but in that month the medical units were driven back by the German advance and the 1st Canadian and 4th Canadian Casualty Clearing Stations came to Pernes and began the Cemetery. They remained until July. In May the 6th and 22nd Clearing Stations came, and in August the 13th Clearing Station, and these remained until September. Almost all the burials were made by these units; but Graves 2 to 13 in Plot VI., Row C, were brought after the Armistice from the small British Cemeteries of Anvin and Wavrans, on the railway line from St. Pol to Montreuil. In addition, the grave of one United Kingdom soldier buried in Pernes Churchyard was added at a later date. There are now over 1,000, 1914-18 and nearly 20, 1939-45 war casualties commemorated in this site. The Cemetery covers an area of 4,157 square metres. ********** John http://members.xoom.com/joandersen "Advertising: The science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it."
