- The HARTLEY Family Surname War Graves
Have you a HARTLEY ancestor who served in a war, maybe lost his/her life ?
New for 2010, HartleyFamilyOrgUK pays tribute to HARTLEY men and women who died
in the two World Wars and in other major conflicts over the past few centuries.
The aim is that each of the dead should be commemorated, by name and photo,
a permanent e-headstone or e-memorial; uniform, with no distinction of military
or civil rank, race or creed Included are instances where remains are missing.
On this page you can contribute to the vital role we play in remembering the
war dead. This page will be ever expanding, so email your information and headstone/memorial
photo now to be included.
Voluntary contributions are welcome to pay for the maintenance of this page
and to make sure it is a permanent reminder to future generations [see link

Battle
of Fromelles Wargrave News: In May 2008, after several years of painstaking
research and investigation, a number of burial pits dating from the First World
War were identified at Pheasant Wood, near Fromelles in northern France.
In May 2009, archaeologists from Oxford Archaeology began to ex
cavate
the pits and by early September they had carefully removed the remains of 250
British and Australian soldiers, buried behind German lines after the Battle
of Fromelles in July 1916. The British and Australian governments have asked
the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to oversee the operation to recover the
remains and to create a new military cemetery at Fromelles for their reburial.
With the recovery stage of the project now complete, archaeologists and DNA
specialists are examining the remains in an effort to identify the soldiers
who will be reinterred in February 2010.
On 19 July 2010, the anniversary of the Battle, a special commemorative event
will be held at Fromelles [Pheasant Wood] Military Cemetery. Details of that
event can be found here.
