On your list you say that my uncle was buried at Villers Bretonneux and I suppose that is a presumption that that is so ?? We have no record of his being buried or having a grave ----My nephew in law John Matthews has been in touch with you about this --personally I am not concerned ---but ??Bronwyn leonard

To be clear, those soldiers that have VB after their name are not buried at VB, their names are on the memorial at VB. All of these soldiers are classed as having no known grave, though I have tracked for nearly all of these soldiers their battlefield burial (during the war). This is where most of them still are to this day.
