Denmark cemeteries CWGC sign missing!

On holiday in Denmark at the moment, got the CWGC app for the Tomtom which is very handy,but most of the cemeteries don't have a CWGC sign posted at the cemeteries, does anyone know why?

 

hello Philip

do you mean
CWGC - signage


regards
clive

 

It is rather odd. Some cemteries have the CWGC sign at the gate though, but not all for some reason.

Hope you had a good holiday.

 

Indeed Clive

thanks Jakob, we are in Hantsholm now

 

Thou a Dane I am not 100 % sure. But my guess is many graves are on civilian cemetaries. And they normally are marked discretly. Hope you enjoy your holiday thou.

 

Some photographs I made on our trip

the Second World War, Page 166 Volume 1942.
Aircraft Type: Wellington
Serial number: BJ 840
Radio call sign: GT -
Unit: ATTD 156 SQN RAF

Summary:

Wellington BJ840 took off from RAF Alconbury at 2301 hours on the night of 28/29th
July 1942, detailed to bomb Hamburg, Germany. A message was received from the
aircraft on its return journey giving its position as 55.24N, 06.48E, which placed the
aircraft somewhere over the North Sea. No further messages were received and the
aircraft failed to return to base.

Crew :

RAF Wg Cdr Price, H L DFC Captain (Pilot)
RAAF 402848 Flt Sgt J T Bray, (2nd Pilot)
RCAF Flt Lt Hudock, J G (Observer)
RAF Sgt J Duthie, (Wireless Air Gunner)
RAF Sgt W D Evans, (Air Gunner)
RAF Sgt M W Walsh, (Air Gunner)

It was presumed that the aircraft was lost over the North Sea, and that all the crew lost
their lives.
Flt Sgt Bray body was washed ashore and he is buried in the Kirkeby Churchyard,
Denmark. The island of Romo is situated off the west coast of Jutland just north of the
German frontier. Kirkeby is on the east side of the island near its southern end.
The other five crew members have no known grave, and their names are commemorated
on the Memorial to the Missing, Runnymede, Surrey, UK.

 

Thanks for the info Spidge, there is also buried an unknown Sergeant buried there, and Sergeant Hobgen RAAF
