Gravesite: VIII. F. 7 Isolated Burial


A standard US inscribed upright white marble headstone.

 

Private Alfred English served in the 112th Engineers of the 37th Infantry Division in France in WW1.  He died just after the war of Spanish Flu and is buried in a Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery.

 

From the CWGC website: The cemetery at Terlincthun was begun in June 1918 when the space available for service burials in the civil cemeteries of Boulogne and Wimereux was exhausted. It was used chiefly for burials of about 3000 soldiers from the base hospitals in WW1.  The cemetery contains 4378  burials from both WW1 and  WW2.
