French War Cemeteries
Can any of our French (or knowledgeable non-French) members tell me how to determine where a particular French war casualty is buried? I've seen lists of cemeteries (with and without ossuaries), but I need to know how to find a particular grave.
I'm hoping that there is an online source, but I doubt that there is any way short of a letter to France.
The body in question is Adjt. Antonin Gauthier of SPA 80, Sept. 15 or 16, 1918. I have a shot of his temporary grave, but no information on location, although there is a family legend that it was behind German lines.
