Captain Standen

[John Butt]

Have been working my way through the 1/20th London diary and came across this entry for Wednesday 10th November 1915:

"Still wet. Relieved by 17th Battalion and went into old German Reserve Line in FOURTH AVENUE.

Captain Standen killed by pip squeak."

I have not been able to find an entry on CWGC website.

Wouldn't it be useful if they also had a research facility for date, regiment and unknowns!

There is such a site but it's not run by CWGC

Geoffs Engine.

You need a log in password which will cost you a donation to Help the Heroes but I can say that for the serious researcher it is worth its weight in gold.

You can search by Regiment per day or group of days.

You can also search the Additional Field by putting a placename in there.

All sorts of permutations.
