Over one thousand men died on the 8th August 1916, the majority of these on the Somme in northern France. Lieutenant Colonel Charles Edward Goff MC of the 1st Battalion, King's Liverpool Regiment was one of the most senior ranking officers to die. He was 26 years old, the son of Crosbie Goff and Mrs Goff of Clonard, Killiney, Co. Dublin. His name appears on the Thiepval Memorial and on a brass plaque in St Matthias' Church, Dublin.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
