Doing researches about the place where my French grand-father, died Nov. 1914, is resting, I eventually found him in a German cemetery massgrave near Arras (Pas-de-Calais, France), together with 18 other French and one English.
They all died in Comines (city both in Belgium and France) during the First battle of Ypres (Flanders). They all where hardly wounded and died as POW, that's why they have been buried by Germans. Probably as other ones, my grand-father was not recorded as dead but as missing.
So if anyone of you is searching for a private named BROWN J.W. (or S.W.), serving at 1st Life Guards "D - Jquach" (I don't understand because I probably don't read it right) between Ypres and Comines, and missing in Nov. 1914, please let me know.
