250 WWI SOLDIERS FROM THE BATTLE OF FROMELLES GIVEN FITTING FINAL PLACE OF REST IN NEW CEMETERY DEDICATED BY HRH THE PRINCE OF WALES

In a moving and poignant service, the last of 250 WWI soldiers killed in the Battle of Fromelles was laid to rest today, in a new Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery dedicated by HRH The Prince of Wales. The soldiers were recently discovered in mass graves, and today’s ceremony, on the 94th anniversary of the battle, marks the end of a two-year project to give them a fitting final place of rest.The ceremony began when the coffin of the last soldier was borne out of Pheasant Wood, location of the original graves, on a WWI Mark X General Service Wagon pulled by horses from the Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery. The procession journeyed through the village of Fromelles, and was joined by HRH The Prince of Wales and Her Excellency the Governor- General of Australia Quentin Bryce, along with Chief of the General Staff General Sir David Richards, Lieutenant General Ken Gillespie, Australian Chief of Army, and soldiers from the British and Australian Armies.Photograph shows Bombadier Peter Pagan-Skelley Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery (Front Horse), Sgt Alan Bould Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery (Rear Horse), Cpl Anthony Bysouth Royal Logistics Corp (Seated Left) and Private Christopher Tilley Australia's Federation Guard (Seated Right) bringing the body of the last soldier found at Pheasant Wood, Fromelles across the fields to his final resting place in the Commenwealth War Graves Commision Cemetetary.POA(Phot) Mez Merrill/Crown Copyright/ ( automatický preklad  ) ( ukáž pôvodný text )
