On this day 28th June 1915

3287 Pte. Tom Bennett of “D” Company was killed on the 28th June. He now has no known grave and is commemorated on the Menin Gate Memorial; however, Tom was in fact buried in a small cemetery in Armagh Wood that was used for trench burials at that time. Unfortunately, in the later fighting of June 1916, many of these small cemeteries were destroyed and it is likely that Tom’s grave was lost at this time.
