Commemorative Information
Cemetery: VIGNACOURT BRITISH CEMETERY, Somme, France
Grave Reference/
Panel Number: I. F. 9.

Location: Vignacourt is a village in the Department of the Somme on the west of the road from Amiens to Doullens, the D933. From the D933 take the D113 from Flesselles and 5 kilometres along this road the Cemetery will be found at the entrance of the village.

Historical Information: From October, 1915, to March, 1918, five British and one Australian soldier were buried in the Communal Cemetery; but in the latter month the German advance on this point began, and Vignacourt was occupied by the 20th and 61st Casualty Clearing Stations and became in addition a headquarters of Royal Air Force Squadrons. The British Cemetery was begun in April and closed in August. The burials reflect the desperate fighting of the Australian forces on the Amiens front. The six graves in the Communal Cemetery were removed to the British Cemetery after the Armistice.

On the West side, opposite the War Stone, is a monument erected by the village in honour of the British dead. This French monument was unveiled in August, 1921. It is a statue of a French soldier, on the base of which are engraved the words: "Freres D'armes de L'Armee Britannique, tombes au Champ D'Honneur, dormez en paix. Nous veillons sur vous." ("Brothers in arms of the British Army, fallen on the field of honour, sleep in peace; we are watching over you.").

All that I know of my Paternal grandfather is contained in a tiny newspaper
clipping. I reproduce it herewith:

"CHIP" SHOP FIRE SEQUEL
Mr. Eric N. Molesworth, county coroner, held an inquest yesterday afternoon
at 35 Oswald Street, Rochdale, relative to the death of Mr. Thomas Duxbury
(71) at that address, which took place on Wednesday at the Infermary.
Mr. Robert Bowskill of 35 Oswald Street, a labourer, said Mr. Duxbury, who
was his father-in-law, was a widower and lived with witness and his wife.
The deceased was a retired under-carder and conducted a fried fish and
(indecipherable word) potato business. On September 25th last , about 1
p.m., while at dinner, witness's wife found that the fat in the chipped
potato range was on fire. Mr. Duxbury and the witness tried to put the fire
out and both were injured, the former being burned on his head, face and
hands. They were taken to the Infirmary.
The coroner returned a verdict to the effect that Mr. Duxbury died from
bronchitis, accelerated by being accidentally burned.
