Photo of headstone in Faubourg-d'Amiens Cemetery Calais
« on: Saturday 22 January 11 09:15 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

I am hoping that someone will be able to help me and take a photo of the headstone of Pvt Francis Tohill who died on the 19/05/1917.  It is in bay 6 he belonged to the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers Regiment.

I would be very grateful of any help with this as I am completing this research for an elderly relative.

Thanks for all your help

Kieran

I'm afraid that Francis Tohill does not have a known grave and so there is no headstone.  He is, however, named on the Arras Memorial and so one of the contacts mentioned above should be able to provide a photograph of the panel on which his name is engraved.
