Hello Patti,
I think your memorial may be related to my research. I have recently been researching the servicemen and women who were buried at Magdalen Hill Cemetery in Winchester, Hampshire England in WW1. I live in the same road as this cemetery so it has become of great interest to me. During my research I discovered that there were 551 US Service Personnel buried there. In 1920 The Home Office contacted the local council to request their assistance in exhumations of the deceased service personnel. The families of the deceased were consulted and asked for their requests for the final resting place of their loved ones. Many of the Servicemen/women were returned to their families in the US. Some were re-interred in the Brookwood Military Cemetery in Surrey and only 6 remained in Winchester. During the course of my research I came across the following record and thought you might like the information:
Edwin A Cribb died Easton Military Hospital, near Winchester, England. He was 27 yrs old. Buried 13 July 1918. He was exhumed 29 April 1922 and returned to the US at the request of his family.
I hope this small snippet of information may be of use to you.
Best Regards,
Lorraine.
