Berlin South-Western Cemetery.

The 4th Battalion, Yorkshire Regiment were formed in August 1914 in Northallerton.
They became part of the 150th Brigade, 50th (Northumbrian) Division.
After landing at Boulogne on the 14th May 1915, the Division took part in most of the actions on the Western Front.
The Berlin S W Cemetery is located close to the village of Stahnsdorf, about 26 kilometres south west of Berlin and 15 kilometres east of Potsdam.
Immediately after passing the village boundary of Stahnsdorf lies the left hand turning, at the traffic lights, into Bahnhofstrasse.
The Cemetery lies 500 metres after this left hand turning on the left hand side of the road.
The CWGC plot is approximately twenty minutes walk from the entrance.
The plot is found by following signs for the church and continuing on the main path running through the Cemetery.
Private A Thorpe is buried in this cemetery near Berlin which consists of grouped re-burials from 146 cemeteries in Germany.
These included many POW camp burials and is one of four permanant CWGC cemeteries in Germany.
Many British Prisoners of War died in captivity during the last months of the War, presumably due to neglect.
