My Great-Great Uncle James Keen died aged just 20 on 14th August 1917 and is buried in GODEWAERSVELDE BRITISH CEMETERY. He was in the 21st Batallion Kings Royal Rifle Group. The Commonwealth War Graves information says this: "The cemetery was begun in July 1917 when three casualty clearing stations were moved to Godewaersvelde. The 37th and the 41st buried in it until November 1917, the 11th until April 1918, and from April to August 1918, during the German offensive in Flanders, field ambulance and fighting units carried on the burials."
Would he have died in Flanders, the Somme, Passchendale or where?
All information greatfully received. Thank you.
