I have been working on a project regarding my local Cemetery in Winchester England. Magdalen Hill Cemetery is in the same road that I live in. During WW1 551 US Personnel were buried there with full military Honours. Many of them were young soldiers freshly out of training in the US. Sadly they contracted the Influenza either in the training camps in the US, or on the ships travelling over to the UK en-route to France. often the Influenza progressed to pneumonia, which sadly caused their deaths. I have information regarding this soldier which I thought you might like to use. Harvey died in the Portsmouth Military Hospital In Hampshire England and was buried in the Cemetery on 3rd October 1918. The Burial records show his age as 24 years. In 1920 the authorities here worked with the families to exhume the remains. At the request of the families they were either moved to Brookwood American Military Cemetery in Surrey, England or repatriated to the USA for re-burial there. It would appear that his family requested for him to be reinterred in his home town. His remains were exhumed on 19th April 1920, and sent back to the US. I hope this information will be of help to you and others. Best Regards, Lorraine.
