Raising a glass to the memory of Thomas Bell, Stephen, John, Herbert, Frederick, Thomas Canham, George Carter, William Clarke, David, Frank, William Dyer, George Griffiths & James. Fallen but not forgotten. Raising another to Adrian, Geoff, John, Jimmy, Steve Mattock, Neil, Peter & Steve Morse for making it happen.

May They Rest In Peace

I see that the majority of these are on or around 21/3/1918. I've never noticed the actual dates on the others. Is there some pattern here where a batch may have gone astray all those years ago?
