Mijn verhaal
Rifleman John Rogerson, a salesman from Manchester, served in the 11th Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, part of the 59th Brigade, of the 20th (Light) Division.
After John’s Battalion had participated in the Battle of the Menin Road Ridge, near Langemark, capturing ‘t Goed ter Vesten Farm, it was relieved during the night of the 23rd and 24th September 1917. The 11th Rifle Brigade moved back to their encampment at Redan Farm. On the 27 September 70 other ranks were attached to the Royal Engineers. They were tasked with forming carrying parties, to supply the frontline positions near Langemark. During this operation one man was wounded. It’s likely that this man was 38-year-old John Rogerson.
On the 30 September 1917, the 3rd Field Ambulance Station reports that Rifleman Rogerson had died of wounds on 27 of September 1917. He was buried at Cement House Cemetery near Langemark, named after "Cement House" a fortified farm building on the Langemark-Boeszinge road. This cemetery was begun at the end of August 1917 and used by field ambulances and units in the line until April 1918.
