Big thanks to all those who helped me trace my relative Samuel Vagg (wendi, liverpool Annie, Mack, 2 many 2 mention) who died in ww1 aged 18. (he enlisted under the name of Bagg)

Thanks to Tuna from 'The Long, Long Trail' Forum I now have pics of his grave at 12 copse cemetery in Turkey.

Thanks Annie, thanks Wendi, realy pleased with them to say the least.
Still not sure why he enlisted under a different name though, possible he enlisted under age i suppose, will have to look up his date of birth.
