George Saunders was my great uncle on my mother's side, one of 3 children to George and Ellen Saunders of Mountain Ash. Prior to joining the regiment in April 1915 he worked at Nixon's Navigation Colliery.
George served in the 18th Battalion, Welsh Regiment and was believed killed in action aged on 24th November 1917 during the Battle of Cambrai. Like countless others his body was never recovered. He is honoured at the Loverval Military Cemetery to the south west of Cambrai.
