Marilyne Posted 13 December , 2018 Share Posted 13 December , 2018 Hoi Henk, Welkom!!! I think you'll find that there's more than those. considering the fact that a lot of brothers signed up together and tried to serve in the same units, once these units were engaged in major offensives (like the Somme, Passchendaele... you name it), there was a big chance that they would die in that same action. It's of course all the more gruelling for a parent, and sometimes- in the case of the Pal's Bn - for a whole village! the thread that Michelle gave us will give you a lot of examples, not only on the Western Front. Have fun with the research! Marilyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
