2 soldiers from the 15th Battalion (Pompey Pals) who were killed in October 1918 and buried as Unknown Soldiers, have been identified with some careful detective work and now have new named headstones. Staff and Volunteers from the Royal Hampshire Regiment Museum were present at the service on Tuesday this week, along with members of the PWRR,  our successor regiment.
