Just noticed your message whilst I was doing some research on Sainte Marie Cemetery.
Hopefully you are still planning to visit the cemetery at the end of this month?
If you have time, I'd be forever grateful if you could visit and photograph the headstone of my great uncle.
Private 1847, H (Henry) Tomlinson, The Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, Div.19. I. 7.
Henry came from Preston, Lancashire, where he worked in a cotton mill. It seems he signed for the army just as soon as the war broke out and he was in France by September 1914. He died from injuries aged 20yrs on 7 September 1915 in the Central Hospital at Le Havre.
I'm hoping to get there myself one day soon but in the meantime a photograph would mean alot to my family.
Many thanks & kind regards,
Vicky
