Five hundred and thirty five British officers and men died on this single day in 1916 and Lieutenant John Louis Malpas of the 2nd Battalion, South Staffordshire Regiment was one of the officer casualties. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Theipval Memorial on the Somme.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
