Hello Barbara,
I wonder if you can give your Grandfathers name, it may help a little in
answering your questions.

Regards

Cemetery [which I was lucky enough to visit last October]. I have two
questions that I hope someone will be able to help with -

death certificate tell me more than the details on CWGC site.

There were 87 men killed and buried at Essex Farm between 19th and 30th
April 1916 - quite a large proportion of the 1100 buried there.
