Bess,
All i can say is OMG. My great uncle was 7th Bn East Yorkshire Regiment, served on the front in WW1. No known grave, name on the Ypres Memorial and also on the Regimental memorial in Beverley Minster. Strange thing is when i looked at the Regimental War book for the date he is reported to have died the 7th were not even in the line, having been sent to the rear for rest a few days before. Like you i do not understand and would love to have more information. One day i will try and find out more but too busy at the moment.
Steve
