A splendid memorial and beautifully kept. Visited 10 years ago for the first time to see my Paternal Granddad’s name displayed. He died on the 21st of December 1914, two weeks after his wife gave birth to my Father back in England. He has no known grave, however just down the road is a small British Cemetery called ‘Browns’. There are buried several men from his regiment ( Welsh Borderers) who appear to have died the same time including some unknown. I stood against one of these latter graves (3 if I recall) and thought that just maybe this could be his grave. A very moving meecperienceexperience.

Beautiful and poignant memorial to 13,400 British soldiers killed in the Loos/lens sector of the Western Front in the year from October 1914 through to September 1915. The memorial forms two sides of the Le Touret Military Cemetery
Of all the memorials on the Western Front, Le Touret, from an architectural and aesthetic perspective, impressed me most.
Memorial to the missing for those who died in Northern France from October 1914 to 24th September 1915. Always worth a visit and a credit to CWGC.
Wow! Looking at this crator you can just feel the power it must have had when it exploded!
Found my Great Uncle F D Thomson's name on one of the panels. He was with the Scots Guards and lost at the battle of Festubert in 1915. Great respect for the War Graves Commission for the upkeep of these military grave sites thru out France and Belgium.
Lest we forget
