France/Belgium Trip 2018 Post 07
Next up was a 10 mile trip to Eclusier to visit another DLOY grave belonging to 1100178 Tpr. Hartley James Hughes. Another member of C Sqn. Hartley died of wounds on 25 March 1917 aged 35.
He is buried in Eclusier Communal Cemetery, Grave No, B8. It is a tiny French village cemetery on the banks of the River Somme with just 23 military burials.
Hartley was the son of John and Annie Hughes and lived at 6 St. Johns, Liverpool.
I had the honour of leaving a poppy cross at his headstone. RIP
