CharlieOn the rolls it has 12029 Cpl Thomas Burton19th Bn and then 12th Bn48640 Pte Harry Fairbrother19th Bn att. 21st TMBTimberman
The ICRC lists a 41168 Samuel Light 3rd Bn, DoW either 5 or 7 May 1917http://grandeguerre.icrc.org/en/File/Details/1730071/3/2/41168 is Ernest White later E Yorks he is not recorded as DoW. Nothing comes close either on CWGC or the MiCs. Any ideas please.Charlie
Samuel light is buried in the same grave as pte 25931 w.h griffin,but the graves registration team crossed him off the register and put him down as a unknown british soldier,they did the same with pte berks,its a bit odd,these men had been recorded as being buried at douai by the germans,so why did the CWGC change them to unknowns.mack
