SOMMESOLDIER Posted 19 May , 2005 Share Posted 19 May , 2005 Hi There, I am interested in the movements on and around 14-17th September 1916. Also during research on a man KIA 14-17th I found that there were many men in that Battalion who have open KIA dates. I know the reasons as to why this might happen, but what are the specific reasons in this case ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Tim.
