Muriel Nottall, on a four day battlefield and grave tour from England, lays a poppy at a grave of an unknown soldier 'because they are often neglected'. Tony Webb has brought his 83 year old father on the tour in order to show him his father's grave. Soldiers from all over the world died a usually unheroic death in the muddy trenches of these battlefields. A small ceremony is held by tour organiser, Joe Street, to commemorate the most unheroic soldiers of all; those 'shot at dawn' for desertion. They are remembered now mostly with pity. As the battlefield tour moves on to France, more commemorations are held for the Canadians who joined the allied attack at the Somme, where over 1 million lives were lost in just four and a half months.
