In Continuing & Grateful Memory — Boy Soldiers Killed in Belgium Volume 1

This 442 page book provides 450 cameos of young boys aged between 14 and

17 who gave their lives during the First World War.It is a companion

to Volume 2 that covers those commemorated on the Menin Gate only.

The boy soldiers are buried in all parts of Belgium in nearly 100
