GeeRam,
My Great granddad also met his fate at Loos on 25 Sep 15. He was one of over 300 officers and men of the 10th Scottish Rifles.
My Great-Uncle was with the 7th KOSB and is represented in name only on the memorial wall, as having no known grave. Some 80 years later, I became the first member of the family to visit Dud Corner Military Cemetry, and lay a poppy wreath on behalf of my by then frail 90 year grand-mother who along with her mother were the last members of the family to see him as he went off to France, as he proudly waved goodbye and walked down the cobble street from their Falkirk home.
So, on a Sept. day almost 82 years to the day later, and at sunset and with a friend (who was ex-RAF and happened to be a decent bugler), I layed the wreath against the memorial wall to the sound of the last post.
It so happens that Dud Corner cemetry is located in, what was then no-mans-land just infront of the point in the lines where 7th KOSB went over the top.
God bless 'em all........
