Graves Registration Report Form (GRRF) recording the burial of of Lt. COl F. D. Farquhar in Plot 3 Row A Grave 6 of the Voormezeele Enclosure No. 3, south of Ypres, Belgium.
The CWGC reports: "The Voormizeele Enclosures (at one time there were a total of four, but now reduced to three) were originally regimental groups of graves, begun very early in the First World War and gradually increased until the village and the cemeteries were captured by the Germans after very heavy fighting on 29 April 1918. Voormezeele Enclosure No.3, the largest of these burial grounds, was begun by the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry in February 1915. Their graves are in Plot III... "
Note that the CWGC now uses the original Belgian names, not the French names used during the war.

Perhaps one of the last written documents of Lt. Col. Farquhar was his report of action near St. Eloi, Belgium on the night of March 14-15, 1915. The battalion marched from Dickebush to Vormezele (sic), where the Germans were advancing in large numbers. Their first task was an attack on the mound at St. Eloi. He reported that the attack failed to make progress against the heavy machine gun fire from the mound. Lt. Col. Farquhar was killed at the mound 5 days later.

ENCEINTE NO. 3 DE VOORMEZEELE Belgique
L'ENCEINTE NO. 3 DE VOORMEZELE est située à 4 kilomètres au sud-ouest du centre-ville d'Ypres sur la Ruusschaartstraat, une route se joignant à la Kemmelseweg qui relie Ypres à Kemmel N331. Du centre-ville d'Ypres, on rejoint la Kemmelseweg via la Rijselsestraat, en passant par la porte de Lille (Rijselpoort), en direction d'Armentières (N365). À 900 mètres du carrefour se trouve le virage à droite sur la Kemmelseweg (qu'un passage à niveau rend plus facile à repérer). Un kilomètre et demi plus loin sur la Kemmelseweg, un virage à droite donne sur la Ruusschaartstraat. Le cimetière se trouve à 800 mètres plus loin sur la Ruusschaartstraat, du côté gauche de la route.
