My great uncle Thomas Henry Woodhams Royal Sussex 1307 was kia he is remembered on the Arras Memorial as died with no known grave this is in France.
But he is also in the de Ruvignys roll of honour as killed at Ypres as you know this is in Flanders,they both cant be right......
any one got a idea which is right
Thanks for any help
