Its association is believed to... 1 / 4

@QMGS191418 "Who put you in charge" 😃

[Andy Rawson @AndrewRawson11]

@TerryWhenham @SteveJChambers Thousands in the IWM. They will never be published because they charge too much 110 years on. Only a few dedicated souls will see them on the website.

Today it was my privilege to be present at the burial of Lt James Grant Allan, LCpl Gordon McPherson and 6 unidentified soldiers killed in 1915 at Loos. Superb work by the @CWGC & the @wardetectives #archaeology #veterans #firstworldwar

@richardhosgood @AndyJMAdams @CWGC @wardetectives Funny, I've just fallen across this post of the two, now named and reburied, #FWW soldiers Allen and McPherson...

I've just this moment finished watching a recording of this very story, on BBC Breakfast program c.6:30am

Great work by the organisations involved.
