Four soldiers

[Radcliff]

I wondered if anyone had any information on these four soldiers and why they are buried together,did some thing happen in Liverpool in July 1918,
I do not need any research into their backgrounds as they are not related to me in any way,
I am just intrigued as to why they are all buried together in Toxteth,

A soldier,buried 10th July 1918
William Henry Lane,aged 39 years,of 101 Toxteth Park,

Just checked the CWGC site & W H Lane's death is on there: -

http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/371037/LANE,%20W%20H

will see if the others are too - beat me to it HJ

still doesn't answer your original question Radcliff - why are they buried together? I must admit I am intrigued now too 

[heatherjulie]

A relative of mine died in hospital in this country from injuries received in WW1. There is a memorial to him and several other soldiers in a local graveyard

Thank you both very much,I would like to find why they are together if possible,
but thanks again for your efforts,without credits I cant look at the memorial William Dean was a stoker ,yes,and is mentioned on a panel in the cemetery as is Mr Lane,so perhaps they are not buried there at all,and its just a memorial,
