The following has been sent to me via a mailing list I belong to and I thought it would be helpful to post on the forum. I hope it hasn't been posted before:
The Times has obtained a list of British soldiers who fought in a series of
battles in northwestern France in the First World War.
All of these men were declared Missing In Action and their bodies were never
found.
We are looking to contact any relatives or descendants of these men to learn
more about where they came from, what they did and who they were.
Do you recognise any of the names? Are they a grandfather, great-uncle or even
great-great grandfather?
Please click the link and take a look at the list of names. If you
recognise any
of them, or even recognise an unusual name from your own genealogy or family
tree, please get in touch

The link to the List of missing men in the orginal message was incorrect, it
should have been:-
