In recent years on Christmas Eve, some of the town’s people of Leopoldsburg in Belgium have held a ceremony at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery.
There are 767
Commonwealth burials from WWII in the cemetery, 16 of them unidentified, and also
a number of Polish and Dutch war graves. One of the graves belongs to my relative
Hugh Wright, a Royal Engineer attached to the 49th Infantry Division
(The Polar Bears). Hugh was killed in Wuustwezel, Belgium on 21 October 1944.
The photos below were sent to me tonight from Belgium ~ thank you Cindy from Leopoldsburg, who regularly visits and cares for Hugh’s grave.
You can learn more about Hugh and his war service from the following blogs, click on the images or links …
