I am nearing the end of collating all the information I have about James Riordan, fourth and youngest son of Patrick Riordan and Mary Burke. I've previously written about
where he was buried in France. But I realise it might be useful if I describe how exactly to find his grave site, in case any family members want to visit the grave to pay their respects.
He is buried in the Etaples Military Cemetery, just a few kilometres north of the town of Etaples, south of Boulogne-sur-Mer along the Pas-de-Calais coast.

The cemetery is huge- overwhelming. I cried when I saw it.
Luckily I had a map from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission that helped me quickly identify which section of the cemetery to head for.
James Riordan's final resting place in France lies in Section VII, C.1.
We will remember them.
