Obergefreiter Willi Hansen, born at melrose (Scottish Borders), was reburied to the War cemetery at Traunstein (Germany) Grave 33.

There are 1037 war dead from 73 different municipalities at the Traunstein cemetery (created 1951 / 1954), 26 of them of the First World War.

You could contact the Volksbund or the Traunstein cemetery to find out from where Willi Hansen was reburied.
