Services were held for Second Lieutenant Reginald Russell Boyd and Private Frederick Little, who were just 20 and 19 years old when they died, after their graves were lost for decades.
The rededication services, which took place on September 5 and 6, were conducted by the Reverend Tim Clarke-Wood CF, Chaplain to 4th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland and attended by serving soldiers of the battalion. "It is just as important today that men such as 2ndLt Boyd and Pte Little are not forgotten and fitting that their memory is still honoured by their regimental family."
The Reverend Clarke-Wood said: "2ndLt Boyd and Pte Little were 20 and 19 years old, respectively. The reminder that so many of our British Troops who died during WW1 were very young.
