Thanks to the meticulous archive research by our resident historian Hugo Levels, we have been able to add six new names of fallen British soldiers in our region to our database. This brings the total number of recorded casualties to 842, representing eleven different nationalities. For two of the six newly added soldiers, we also found photographs, making their stories even more tangible. We hope to uncover and add more names and stories through further archival research in the future.
