Private Percy Tolliday of the 11th Battalion, The Middlesex Regiment, has been laid to rest on the Somme alongside two unknown comrades, more than a century after their deaths in the First World War.

The men were recovered by our colleagues from our specialist Recovery Unit.

Dr Daniel Seaton, CWGC Commemorations Case Officer said: “The three casualties now laid to rest were recovered by our specialist Recovery Unit, not far away from where today’s ceremony has taken place. I am delighted that, following research conducted by ourselves and the JCCC, Private Tolliday has been identified, and remain hopeful that it may also be possible to identify the two Unknown Soldiers in the future. All three are now remembered with honour in the Commission’s Warlencourt British Cemetery”

Autumn is gently settling in the Somme… 🍂
The morning light changes and mist envelops the memorials. The imposing 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐩𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 then becomes nothing more than a silhouette in the distance, but its presence still watches over the memory of those who fell on the battlefields.

L’automne s’installe doucement dans la Somme… 🍂
La lumière matinale change et la brume enveloppe les mémoriaux. L’imposant 𝐦𝐞́𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐩𝐯𝐚𝐥 ne devient alors qu’une silhouette au loin, mais sa présence veille toujours sur la mémoire des hommes tombés sur les champs de bataille.
