Memorial stone 18 killed Britsh soldiers

On the National Necropolis of Sedan "Torcy" is a monument in honor of the 18 soldiers who died, whose graves are untraceable.

The text on the memorial stone reads:

'TO THE MEMORY OF
THESE 14 SOLDIERS
OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE
WHO DIED IN 1918 AS
PRISONER OF WAR AND
WERE BURIED AT THE
TIME IN GIVET GERMAN
CEMETERY AND IN

THEIR GLORY
