Acknowledgements
The pictures contained within this web site, and much of the supporting information such as war diaries, unit histories, etc., have mainly been provided by the Pals of the Great War Forum. Their names are listed below and I hope that none have been missed, although I am happy to make any requested corrections.
I must especially thank Aurel Sercu who provided me with the first of my headstone pictures after I started this research. Seeing them made me realise that the work should be undertaken. And a special thank you to Hans Lesage who provided many, many high quality pictures for me when I was beginning to think that I wouldn’t get any more. Receipt of those pictures “kick started” my research when I was flagging a little.
