CEMETERY LIST

In case anyone is thinking of visiting the WW1 battlefields and cemeteries of France and would like to visit the resting places of the Whittington men, I have put a list for the men I have researched so far on the website https://oldwhittingtonops.com/cemetery-list/

I have put it in cemetery order rather than alphabetical to make it more useful for cemetery visits. I will add the remaining cemeteries when I have finished the research.
