The Somme - July 1916
My great uncle Bernard was among the many who died on The Somme in July 1916. From the CWGC website I discovered he was buried in Caterpillar Valley war cemetary near Longueval. At the end of May 2005 we visited his war grave. It is probable that I am the first member of the family to have visited his grave. To commemorate this 90th anniversary (in 2006) of the battle, here is a small version of the video I put together a year ago in tribute to his memory. See 'Somme Grave' in the Video section (7.23MB).
