Mark Posted 15 April , 2003 Share Posted 15 April , 2003 Whilst at Pozieres on Sunday I noticed a burial of an unknown soldier which had taken place on Friday 11 April. There were a couple of poppy wreaths, one from the British Ambassador in Paris. Does anyone know where this soldier was found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 16 April , 2003 Share Posted 16 April , 2003 Didn't know about this one - they recently buried a Royal Fusilier (unknown from October 1916) at AIF Burial Ground, in the grave next to the Earl of Fevershem. He was found near Guedecourt and was probably 8th or 9th Battalion killed on 7th October or 26th or 32nd Battalion same date, but near Ligny.

Mark Posted 25 April , 2003 Author Share Posted 25 April , 2003 I have been advised by the CWGC that the remains of this soldier were discovered during the construction of farm buildings to the north of Pozieres on 28 September 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
