Excellent programme.

I had a great Uncle who was In Northumberland fusiliers, although towards the end of WW1. died (killed in action or died of wounds) on September 8th 1918, a week before his 19th birthday. It is believed that he had only been over in France for a week or so.
He is buried in Epehy wood farm cemetery.
He came from Mistley, Essex, and is on the war memorial there and a plaque in the local church.

A really good programme. So glad that they have been laid to rest properly at last and that their loved ones know where they are now <3
