HUGH POTTER, 6th Inniskilling Dragoons.
« on: Tuesday 25 June 19 16:58 BST (UK) »
HUGH POTTER died at 108 Woodstock Road, Belfast on 2 July 1918 after service with 6 Inniskilling Dragoons. His father was also Hugh (died 1899) and he had at least 6 siblings - Sarah, William, Mary Jane, Matilda, Elizabeth and Margaret.

Does anyone out there know where Hugh Potter is buried ?

Of course there was a body- as OP said he died in BELFAST-
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1918/05181/4430638.pdf

I checked Belfast cemeteries site (City, Roselawn & Dundonald) and not listed.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Yes, LH, that's the family. I'm awaiting results of check for death notices. The fact that his name is on the Brookwood Memorial simply indicates that his burial place was not known at that time.
Grateful to all for your responses.
