Machine Gun Corps (d.22nd Aug 1918) William Brown is commemorated as a member of St Austell Baptist Church who died in WW1 Peter Bishop Add to this record. 213249 Pte. Robert Flanagan 30th Coy Machine Gun Corps (d.7th Oct 1916) My grandfather Robert Flanagan died on the 7th of October 1916, I presume he was involved in some sort of engagement. Try as I may I can find no record of such an engagement being mentioned anywhere. He is buried in Mikra British Cemetery, Kalamaria. I am adding this remit, so that someone may be able to resolve this and understand what happened to him. Editors Note: From the following CWGC text regarding the Mikra Cemetery it is possible that he may have died at sea with a lot of shipping lost in the Mediterranean near Greece. So there may not be any battle to record. However the 10th Irish Division also was stationed in Salonika (now Thessalonika and he could have been killed in action with his unit serving in that Division, or wounded and died in one of the hospitals there: Mikra British Cemetery is situated in the Municipality of Kalamaria in the city of Thessaloniki just off Konstantinou Karamanlis Street between the army camp of Ntalipi (pronounced Dalipi) and the Kalamaria Greek Communal Cemetery. At the invitation of the Greek Prime Minister, M.Venizelos, Salonika (now Thessalonika) was occupied by three French Divisions and the 10th (Irish) Division from Gallipoli in October 1915. Other French and Commonwealth forces landed during the year and in the summer of 1916, they were joined by Russian and Italian troops. In August 1916, a Greek revolution broke out at Salonika, with the result that the Greek national army came into the war on the Allied side. The town was the base of the British Salonika Force and it contained, from time to time, eighteen general and stationary hospitals. Three of these hospitals were Canadian, although there were no other Canadian units in the force. John Mckendry Add to this record. Recomended Reading. Available at discounted prices.
