A nice tribute from the Assevilliers Town Council commemorating some of the fallen buried in the Cemetery, including Empingham's George Snary. http://assevillers.80.free.fr/index_en.php?menu=centenaire&p=cemetery

Not a Rutlander, but Cecil Healy, a notable Australian Gold and Silver Olympic medalist swimmer also buried here.

Rutland and The Battle of the Somme

More than 90 Rutland soldiers died in the Battle of the Somme which lasted from 1 July 1916 until the middle of November. Today they lie in cemeteries across the old battlefield in northern France or are remembered among the 72,000 names on the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme. By using our interactive map, you can find out what happened to them.
