Grave Reference: I. E. 24 Cemetery: Vlamertinghe New Military Cemetery A detailed survey of Glasserton cemetery in the late 70s identified the memorial inscription for James Thompson and noted its precise location on a plan. When I visited the cemetery I carefully consulted that plan and concluded that the grave stone had fallen on its face some time after that survey.
