First casualties-1st July 1916

[Katie]

As you all may know, I have for the past 4 years been beavering away indexing local casualty lists. I am going back and cross checking and correcting mistakes. I am going through the lists for July 1916 and the first casualties that occurred on the 1st July 1916 are these 2 men of the Royal Engineers.

May I point out that these soldiers may have lost their lives in a Theatre of war elsewhere and not the Somme. I thought I would post those from the list's who gave their lives in the "Great Advance". How far did they advance?
