paul guthrie Posted 20 November , 2009 Share Posted 20 November , 2009 Terry what happened? The men were killed about the same time, how were so many lost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 20 November , 2009 Author Share Posted 20 November , 2009 Paul The Pozieres Memorial is for men lost on the Somme in 1918 and so they are all bound to have died around the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiegeGunner Posted 21 November , 2009 Share Posted 21 November , 2009 My great-uncle disappeared off the face of the earth in that area at the same time, but has been commemorated at Pozières from the beginning. It's therefore especially gratifying to see these 'forgotten' men brought in from the cold. Congratulations as ever to the volunteers and the IFTC project.
