98 years ago tomorrow - 3rd July 1916 Bertie Lawrence was killed in action on the third day of the battle of the Somme, aged just 19. He was the son of James and Charlotte Lawrence from The Folly. He has no known grave, the photograph shows his name carved on the Thiepval memorial to the missing, France... from memory there are around 72,000 (seventy-two-thousand) British and South Africans remembered on this memorial alone.....The shear numbers of missing is incomprehensible.... Lest we forget
