This paired photo shows my father's uncle (Hamlet Norton Noakes) next to his brother, my grandfather, Leonard Noakes. My grandfather survived the war but suffered the loss of his eye.

This is the back of the photograph I sent previously. I do not know who made the notes on the back but I think it was my father's Uncle Eldon, another brother of Hamlet. It is haunting to note that both Hamlet and Leonard died on the same day 65 years apart.

From Ieper town centre the Komenseweg is located via the Rijselsestraat, through the Rijselpoort (Lille Gate) and crossing the Ieper ring road, towards Armentieres and Lille. The road name then changes to Rijselseweg. 1 Km along the Rijselseweg lies the left hand turning onto Komenseweg. The cemetery itself is located 1.2 Km along the Komenseweg on the right hand side of the road.
