Remembrance Sunday, 2025
I spent the afternoon in the triangle formed by Arras, Bapaume and Cambrai, and, in so doing, found the answer to @SommePhantom's question.

#Remembrance Remembering 2nd Lieut Thomas Utting Royden, 17th Bn Liverpool Pals/1st Bn KRRC, Killed in action 14 Nov 1916 aged 20. A sad story of the bravery of a teenage grandson of a Liverpool Mayor,who lied about his age to sign up.

🌍 Our History students visited WW1 battlefields in Ypres 🇧🇪, Vimy Ridge & the Somme 🇫🇷.
They've been researching Blue Coat war heroes, and visiting ahead of Remembrance Sunday made the trip even more poignant. 🕯️🎖️

Recently @SommePhantom asked if a 'Known unto God' headstone can have the @Liverpool_Pals' Eagle & Child emblem.
🧐 I've yet to find an example, but yesterday I did find one with the 6Bn's badge.
📍 A.I.F. Burial Ground, two doors down from Pte. Willder, 1765.
