Chris The December 1918 date is a red herring - it should be December 1917. Flesquieres is on the battlefield of Cambrai. Though that battle officially finished on 7th December 1917 it would appear that 1/21 London Regiment were still taking casualties there three days later, viz; Addis, George Henry, 652948, Rifleman, NEUVILLE-BOURJONVAL BRITISH CEMETERY Merryweather, William John Edward, 653775, Rifleman, Flesquieres Hill British Cemetery Mills, Henry, 653400, Sergeant, Flesquieres Hill British Cemetery Nash, Frank Edward, 653256, Rifleman, Flesquieres Hill British Cemetery Philips, Mark Aubrey, 653913, Rifleman, Flesquieres Hill British Cemetery Smith, Gilbert Edgar, 652155, Rifleman, Arras Memorial all killed in action on 10th December 1917.
