I am a member of the RNA Eastern Cyprus Branch. We have been working in a War graves/civilian cemetary in Famagusta.
While lookin around I found the grave of Major JC Thompson late Royal Marines, born 7/1/1871 and died 30/3/1938.
Can you tell me where I could find details about thisoofficer and how he came to be there?
