2 images A great memorial on the side of the road, this has the names of thousands of the fallen inscribed on panels, where soldiers have no known grave. I found the names of 8 Rutlanders here.

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.
