| Lord Roberts |
Newspapers report that, "Lord Roberts proceeded to France to see the Indian troops at present fighting at the front, of which he was Colonel-in-Chief. He contracted a chill and succumbed, after a short illness, to an attack of pneumonia."
As Field marshal, Lord Roberts is one of the highest ranking and oldest (at 82) of the First World War dead commemorated by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
The 26th Brigade RFA fires in support of Lord Cavan's section all day.
