Member Since: June 2006 Posts: 24 Send Message	Does anyone know anything about this chap who died in battle. My mother's family were from the Chubb family so wanted to find out whether this chap was part of the same family.

VIEW RECORD Devonshire Regiment United Kingdom The Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme is a war memorial to 72,337[1] missing British and South African servicemen who died in the Battles of the Somme of the First World War between 1915 and 1918, with no known grave. Saw the "Shrouds of the Somme" today at the Olympic Park in London - how remarkable was that, very thought provoking!! It opened on 8th Nov. and runs to 18th. All the names are being read out one by one, - they had only got to the C's. No one I asked could tell me what will happen when the 18th comes, they surely won't get to all the names.
