Reburial Messines Ridge British Cemetery (Frank Mahieu) - Mesen - 19/03/2019
19/03/2019 - Mesen
Op dinsdag 19 maart 2019 vond op de Britse begraafplaats Messines Ridge British Cemetery de begrafenis plaats van twee soldaten: een onbekende soldaat van het Royal Irish Rifles Rgt en een onbekende soldaat. Hun resten werden gevonden tijdens werken in Mesen. Ze sneuvelden ofwel in juni 1917 tijdens de Slag om Mesen of in April 2018 tijdens de Slag om de Leie. Voortaan rusten ze temidden van hun gevallen kameraden.
On Tuesday 19 March 2019 at Messines Ridge British Cemetery a funeral service was held for an unknown soldier of the Royal Irish Rifles Rgt and and a soldier of an unknown regiment. Their remains were found during work to widen a drainage ditch in the Wulvergemstraat at Messines (Mesen). They were killed either in June 1917 (Battle of Messines) or in April 1918 (Battle of the Lys). They now finally are resting amidst their fallen comrades.
The ceremony was led by Army Chaplain Nathan King of the 1st Btn. The Royal Irish Regiment. Pall bearers of the regiment performed the funeral duties with full honour for their fallen predecessor. Official representatives of the Irish Military and Irish Embassy, the British Embassy, the CWGC, the city of Messines attended as did a number of interested and dedicated people.
