Hello, i had a great uncle who`s name was Louis Romanini service no: s/14862 who died on monday the 7th august 1916 on the somme. i have found his grave in Vermelles cemetry (which next year i shall visit) and i cannot find-out where he died, the nearest i can get is somewhere near Pozieres. If this is so then why is his grave about 50 miles away? he was in the 2nd battalion rifle brigade 8th division 25th brigade 4th army under general Rawlinson as i beleive.

Bear with me while I try to figure this out, but I think this is my mini-blog here on the WORLD WAR 1 TALK forum. I have my other blogs and web sites here: http://rlaughton.googlepages.com So it would appear I can have a separate blog here .... cool!
First test, all working
