when my parents bought a house in 1970, the owners were an old couple who said about their regular trips to Germany. Eventually they said their son was in the RAF in WW2, and flew in bombers and was posted missing over Germany. They never gave up hope he was alive and went to Germany to look for him hoping maybe to see him thinking he may have amnesia, terribly sad, I often think of them, how many more were there like that after both wars

My great, great uncle Arthur was lost and never found on a raid into Hulluch in September 1917. This is the first reference to Hulluch I have ever seen beyond my own investigations. Thanks.

Whoever read aloud John's letters home was an absolute master at it, thank you. xx

There are around 10,000 Australians whose unidentified body parts remain forever in the soil of the killing fields on the Somme and in Flanders fields. My Uncle, Pte. Albert Williams KIA June 1916 is one. Lest we forget. Lest we forget. 🫡🙏🕊️🇦🇺🦘

My great great uncle Ernest was thankfully found & laid to rest in Danzig Alley, Mametz. He sleeps around 500 metres from where he sadly fell, on The Somme. July 1st 1916. His brother, my great great Uncle William sadly didn’t have the privilege of a grave, as he drowned at Jutland. My great great grandmother Alice received the death penny twice within a matter of weeks. Sadly the loss of her two babies sent her into a manic depressive state. She was institutionalised for near enough the remainder of her life 😞

Greetings and respects from France for the sacrifices made to save our land

The pain of losing a loved one during the mindless killing of War, can only be exceeded by the agony of never having closure. May God grant the Fallen.....and their loved ones..... Peace. 😢

So heartbreaking for the parents!!
Searched their whole lives not to find their beloved son; and to think they might have walked by his grave is horrific 😢

My great grandfather perished there, his body was never found and the last letter my great grandmother got was that he was injured by a gas attack written by his friend which took best part of a month to arrive, they never heard from my great grandfather ever again. Very sad, he was 22 years old, what a waste fighting for Kitchener as with all the others who perished fighting a rich man’s war!

My paternal grandfather was badly injured at Loos by machine gunfire and spent 3 days and nights in no man’s land. At some point a German officer with a search party found him, gave him a drink of water and told him they would return to collect him but before that happened, he was rescued by his own side. The surgeon who had to amputate his leg told him that without that drink of water he would have died so the family is forever grateful to that unknown German soldier. For a start, I wouldn’t be here today!

My Uncle (my Dads Brother) served with the Chindits in WW2. He was killed in action in the Burmese jungle in April 1944. My Grandmother received a telegram reporting him being missing in action. His date of death was only confirmed after the war in 1946. His body was never recovered. His name is on the war memorial in Rangoon.

My great X3 uncle harry lythe served in the Great War and was never found. He was born in 1891 in England emigrated to Canada in 1910. He enlisted to the Canadian expeditionary force in 1915 and went missing during the battle of passchaendale in 1917 whilst serving as part of a Lewis gun crew. Rest in peace

Much respect to Lt. Kipling and his brave sacrifice in the face of what can only be described as Hell on earth. Rest in peace Sir.

Dad's uncle Bill Jones was buried alive and woke from a coma in an army hospital. They called him the wrong name and he told them. They had notified his family in Salford that he was dead. When Bill walked through the door, Dad's mum nearly had a fit. He was always a bit grumpy afterwards, according to dad. I explained to dad that he had extenuating circumstances.

My Great, Great Uncle, Private A J Stedman, 15th Service (2nd Birmingham) Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment was killed on 5th October 1917 at Polderhoek Chateau, in the Ypres Salient. He is one of 35,000 listed on the memorial to the missing at Tyne Cot Cemetery.
