theodore Posted 22 February , 2016 Share Posted 22 February , 2016 A number of 2nd Battalion Worcestershire Regiment men KiA in September 1914 are reported to have been buried in a wood on the western slopes of the Beaulne spur in the Bois de Brules, Verneuil. Most now have no known resting place and are remembered on the La Ferte-sous-Jouarre Memorial. Can any member help with a map showing this area for this time? This would be most appreciated.
