Dear all,

Ive just come back from visiting my great uncles grave in the Philosophe cenetery in Mazingarbe, near Loos. I notices that he is busried with 3 other members of his regiment (12th Btn Suffolk) who dies on the same day 25th July 1916. Has anyone got any ideas on how/what was happening at that time. Also what could have been the likely cause of these 4 soliers deaths, e.g. shell, raids, etc.

Kind regards,

Mike Kelly

sounds as if a shell burst may have got them all.
