Thank you for your message below.
Our database only includes soldiers who are buried under a hero's tribute gravestone. The name Georges Jules Sindorff does not appear in our list, I cannot find it in the Hero tribute database. Was this man buried under a heroic tribute cross? Do you happen to have an old photo of that or some other proof?

It is quite possible that he was not included in our database because he was never registered by the Heroic Tribute Committee at the time.
In the book 'Immortal in your stone. Soldiers' graves, heroes' tribute and the Great War' by Frank Seberechts, you can read more about the heroes' tribute gravestone and the intentions of the Heroes' Tribute Committee that created this gravestone.

Cordial greetings,
