Leslie Beauchamp Grave and Ploegsteert Wood

Photos kindly reprinted by permission of Martin O’Connor. Leslie Beauchamp, KM’s brother was killed in Ploegsteert Wood, just a short distance from Messines, and his grave is in the small Ploegsteert Wood Cemetery, about a 10-minute walk into the woods from the gates. Martin runs a fascinating blog with information on the site and surrounding area http://messines1917.blogspot.com/ and also organises small tours.
